Facilities
AIT’s state-of-the-art research and education facilities include three amphitheaters which are distinguished for their versatility and highly trained technical support, and six laboratories, unique in the region. The building’s distinctive modern internal infrastructure is conducive to hosting conferences/seminars/workshops, lectures, television productions, press conferences, and exhibitions.
Each amphitheater has been specifically designed to provide excellent acoustics. The projection booth, located in the Socrates Amphitheater on the third floor, is made of sound-proof glass and projection of any analog or digital video signals for all three spaces is managed by a professional technician.
When you join AIT, you join a full campus environment. Spacious classrooms, interactive amphitheaters outfitted with audiovisual network systems enabling tele-education, a modern library and fully equipped state-of-the-art laboratories which support your educational and research activity.
AIT is equipped with wireless access facilities, allowing you to access the internet from any part of the building. High-speed communication lines are provided for communication with the wider academic community. The eLearning environment has been developed so that courses taught by Carnegie Mellon professors or other collaborating universities, such as Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, are given either on site or remotely via live video teleconferencing.
The communication lines are active 24-hours a day enabling all AIT students to have immediate and fast access to Carnegie Mellon's digital library, and supporting net-meetings.
Study rooms, a bookstore, a restaurant-coffee shop and a recreation area are always available for you to study and socialize in a more relaxed environment with your fellow students.

Students' Views
The faculty at AIT is impeccable in every way. The professors are not only experts in their fields, they are also willing to help, guide and advise their students. I have worked with many different professors during my years in academia; the professors at AIT stand out as the consummate professionals. There was also a great collaboration among the students. We all knew the demands of the program and this, in a way, brought us closer. We all became friends, we all burned the midnight oil studying together, doing homework or preparing for exams. It was a wonderful experience that I will always cherish and think fondly of.
