UWI Debe campus opens in January

Construction of the campus began under the former People’s Partnership government.

Garcia reminded MPs that the main contractor for the campus was fired on November 11, 2016, for poor performance.

He explained the campus’ construction will be completed in two phases, with phase one scheduled to be completed in December.

That phase will include the construction of a faculty of law, hall of residence, food court and a student building.

Garcia said phase two, which is contingent upon identifying funding, will include construction of facilities such as a central library, car park facilities, cricket and football fields
