The P160 million science blocks form the first phase of developments that will house all academic departments in the university. According to BIUST communications manager, Keoagile Rafifing more blocks will be constructed as the university continues to develop.
“The three buildings under construction are for the College of Sciences. The science block will house the following departments; Physics and Astronomy, Earth and Environmental Sciences, Biological and Biotechnological Sciences, while the other buildings that form part of the three blocks will house Mathematical and Statistical Science, Chemicals and Forensic Sciences, Health and Nutrition, Pharmaceutical Sciences and Auditorium and classroom block,” he said. Rafifing said more developments should be expected for all the three BIUST founding colleges (College of Science, College of Engineering and Technology and College of Information and Communications Technology) as funds became available for such developments. He further explained that currently the laboratory spaces were limited and porta-cabins used for lecture offices.
