AIT has helped Zaragosa — its original home — to become the most technologically advanced region on the planet. Here, the ownership of architectural AIs reaches nearly 40%, and large urban areas are covered by AIT’s patented SunShield® nanocrystal latticeworks, protecting those under their technorganic shade from the ravages of the sun’s UV rays.
AIT was founded in Zaragosa in 2021, in the part of Spain once known as Catalonia. The main campus has grown like a massive oak in the heart of the city, its roots reaching everywhere. Zaragosa is an ancient town renowned as a communications center and a major distribution point for fine wines, olives, and cereal products. The original AIT building — the Modernista Rectors’ Hall—rises beside the Moorish palace of Aljafarería.
The university is actually named for the Spanish province of which Zaragosa is the capital: Aragon. Since AIT’s inception, the people of Aragon have rallied behind the university, recognizing it as a source of both income and prestige for the mountainous region. The university’s reputation is a source of great pride for many Aragonians. While the Zaragosa campus draws in the best and brightest students from around the world, a full 22% of the students still hail from Spain, with nearly two-thirds of those coming from Aragon proper.
In the location of what was originally Palma Bay, work is nearing completion on the Ozonerator®, a roaming ozone-regeneration factory barge that is projected to be launched into the center of the Mediterranean as early as 2044. This device not only generates precious ozone from ordinary sea water, it then coats it with frictionless Bucky balls, allowing it to be easily propelled into the highest portions of our planet’s atmosphere. There, the ozone separates from the molecular grease to augment the planet’s ravaged ozone layer, while the Bucky balls continue on unimpeded into the reaches of space.
In 2025, AIT founded its second campus in Palma de Majorca, the capital of the Balearic Islands, off the eastern coast of Spain, in the western portion of the Mediterranean Sea. The AIT Marine Center was established there, to further the study of the changing seas as they rose to consume most of the island.
Since the Warming, most of Majorca is underwater, and the same holds true for AIT-Palma. Despite this — or because of it — the AIT Marine Center is the world leader in oceanic and aquatic wildlife studies. Not surprisingly, AIT-Palma also has one of the finest competitive sailing teams in collegiate sports.
AIT’s Barcelona campus began life in 2031 as the Ignatius Loyola School of Engineering and Chemistry. The first buildings were erected near the Parc Güell in the Collserola Hills of the city.
Some of the most notable projects to come out of AIT-Barcelona’s Quixote Labs include the Mediplast® skin sealant, the Metaboworm® intestinal diet enforcer, and the now-legendary Spacetether®, which generates power by harnessing the heat caused by air friction as lighter-than-air plants are hauled through the upper atmosphere by the planet’s rotation. In partnership with other institutions of higher learning — such as Ferrara World Campus, Stanford, and the University of Mons Olympus — and of business — like Banana Computadoras, Ripple/Turkey, and the Global Gladiator Group — AIT-Barcelona is poised to remain on the bleeding edge of product development.
Barcelona enjoys the reputation of being AIT’s hand’s-on engineering campus. While much of the basic research into various scientific fields takes place elsewhere, at AIT-Barcelona, the students and faculty take that cutting-edge knowledge and put it to use.
In 2041, AIT founded its first "foreign" campus in Brooks, OR, just north of Salem, right in the heart of New Silicon Valley. It was a natural place to set up shop, given the demand for AIT graduates at ground zero fo the global information technology center.
“We live in two worlds,” AIT founder Juanita Aceveda-Diaz, once memorably remarked. “God’s, and the datasphere.” AIT-Brooks is the master of modern information technology. Memeology was first developed as a science here, and Dr. Hagar Prentice’s pioneering work on creating vaccinations against intruder ideavirii was initiated and brought to fruition in AIT-Brooks’s vaunted Gibson Labs. Today, researchers like Nobel-Prize winner Dr. Shawna Bagheera continue Dr. Prentice’s work by capturing, tagging, and releasing ideaforms into the datasphere, tracking their evolution and propagation throughout both naturally and artificially intelligent systems.
Over the years, AIT-Brooks has built strong relationships with the most powerful companies in New Silicon Valley, including Microsoft, Company X, Cybertronics, and Dancey Industries. These organizations generously fund basic research at the Brooks campus. In return, they reap the rewards of not only the newfound knowledge, but also a rapid and steady supply of highly trained entry-level labor.
Already renowned as the home of the Sapporo Brewery and the world famous Snow Festival, Japan’s fifth-largest city is best known in academic circles as a hotbed of activity in the field of biomechanics. In this, AIT students and faculty led the way — and still do to this day.
The line between the datasphere and the biosphere has been eroding for decades, and the researchers at AIT-Sapporo are erasing it as fast as they can. Dr. Kimihiro Watanabe built the first bionanite back in 2071, only 20 years after the founding of AIT-Sapporo. Since then, Dr. Watanabe’s proteges have gone on to develop specialized bionanites like the Somnalite® (for fighting insomnia), Mowmites® (for keeping perfectly groomed lawns always at the programmed height), and Vaccinanite® (for creating tailored vaccines as users are first exposed to brand-new virii).
As more people have been forced to spend most of their time indoors, the design of interior space has become a vital part of our lines. The founder of scientific feng shui—Dr. Lip Lau Liu—actually set up the envirotecture department at AIT-Ulan Bator, and legions of notable designs have come from the Liu Lab. This includes the Morphspace® apartments—so popular in space-limited locations like Tokyo—in which the entire environment can be altered at a word, from the shape of the chairs to the color of the walls.
The main AIT-Ulan Bator campus overlooks Sühbaatar Square, right in the center of town. AIT is especially proud of the way that the campus buildings were woven into the fabric of the ancient Mongolian capital, right from the campus founding in 2061. This is a theme that resonates throughout all of AIT’s campuses, but in this city perpetually caught between the giants of Russia and China, this kind of respect for the locals and their history is especially appreciated.
Not surprisingly, Ulan Bator concentrates on the environmental and architectural sciences and arts. As the home of the Living Bhudda—the ancient spiritual leader of Mongolia—the people of Ulan Bator appreciate the need to find harmony in all aspects of life. In AIT, they have found the perfect partner.
We’re not going to tell you what we do on the moon, and you will never find out — unless you distinguish yourself in your coursework, prove to be an outstanding team player, and post unusual scores on certain psychometric evaluations conducted completely by anonymous parties while you pursue your AIT studies.
Then, you'll find out more than you ever thought you could know.
Interested now? Come to AIT and excel. We'll take care of the rest.
