Botswana Public Officers Pension Fund (BPOPF) through the Letsema Property Fund has collaborated with the Botswana Accountancy College (BAC) to construct a P100 million campus.

The building will house multiple storey blocks for administration, lecture rooms and students' accommodation. The model is based on 100% equity contribution with an equal partnership between the BPOPF and BAC.

The project, which is developed through a PPP model through a Special Purpose Vehicle called Campus Investment Partners (Pty) Ltd, was approved in 2019 by the BAC board of directors. Messidor Investments has been engaged as the project facilitators tasked with pre-construction, construction and post-construction services. Speaking during the groundbreaking ceremony recently, BAC board member Franciscah Molefe said the 8,000 square metres of land was purchased from the Botswana Development Corporation in 2006. Nestled in Plot 61922, she said they plan to build a world-class, new generation facility to improve teaching and learning. “It has been an ambition for us to develop it to expand our facilities and the implementation of the project comes at the right and opportune time when we are ready to expand and evolve into a full business sciences university,” she said.
