Expansion of UWI Five Islands Campus Scheduled To Start Early Next Year

(Cabinet Notes) The commencement of the Expansion Project for the UWI Five Islands Campus is scheduled to take place early next year, since the Saudis have delivered on the loan that had been promised. The first phase will be the construction of the Five Islands Primary School, to be followed by the construction of dormitories to accommodate students coming from abroad to study. Altogether, the sum of 216 Million EC Dollars is being loaned by Saudi Arabia to Antigua and Barbuda for the expansion of the UWI Five Islands Campus. It was noted that construction of new buildings and homes in Antigua is at full throttle, and the expansion of the UWI FIC is expected to consume even more building supplies, aggregates, labour and skilled workers, beginning next year.
