Unitech to improve facilities

THE University of Technology is looking at completing its dining hall so that it can hold 1,000-plus students, says registrar Veronica Thomas.
She told The National recently that the university was looking to improve its facilities to cater for their students. “We are looking to improve our facilities which are more than 50 years old and are in dire need of repair and maintenance work, such as the dormitories,” Thomas said.
There are also ongoing talks on improving other facilities such as the dining hall, lecture rooms among others.
With the increased number of students this year, the university is planning to build new facilities while maintaining their current and buildings and accommodation facilities.
Students who pay the 75 per cent required component fees are eligible for accommodation at the Taraka and Okari campuses.
Currently, their boarding houses hold 20-30 students per building at the female dormitories and the male dormitories have more than 100 rooms at the Taraka campus only.
Other students will be placed at the Okari campus, Buimo road, with transport provided to and from Taraka campus daily making it travel more convenient for the students.
