CONSTRUCTION work on permanent buildings for the All Nations University College (ANUC) in Koforidua has commenced on a 1,000-acre near Akwadum along the Koforidua-Suhum road.
The GH¢7 million complex, which started on November 6, this year, includes an engineering block, students’ hostels and two other blocks to serve as accommodation for faculty members.
The project, which is being financed by the university’s Canada-based partner, All Nations International Development Agency (ANIDA), and being executed by Antarctic Contract Works, a Koforidua-based construction firm, is expected to be completed by July 2009 to enable the university to shift its operations to the new premises in September of the same year.
The engineering block comprises 12 workshops, six lecture theatre halls and offices for members of staff, while the students’ hostels would be able to accommodate 900 students.
The two other faculty blocks will provide 30 residential apartments for members of staff and management of the university.
At a ceremony during which a memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed between the university and Antarctic Contracts Works, the President of the university, Rev Dr Samuel Donkor, said the complex would be used for engineering programmes such as electronics and communications, biomedical and computer science.
Rev Dr Donkor stated that the university had already completed a workshop for its oil and gas engineering programme, adding that another building would soon be put up for a proposed School of Medical Sciences.
