A state-of-the-art IT university could be established in Douglas if enough funding is raised in time.
The Manx Education Foundation charity is
behind the plan which would see the Castle Mona on Douglas promenade transformed
into a world-class computer facility.
The aim is for doors to open by
September 2014, but the MEF still needs to find £2.5million to make this
happen.
Government has committed £5m to the project and the charity is
confident the university will be established.
David Butterworth of the
MEF told us more about the plans they had for the building:
