UWC will launch two infrastructural projects that will change the landscape of higher education in South Africa.
The first project to be unveiled on Monday, 24 April, is the new 2 700-bed Unibell student residence that sets a new standard for living and learning. The residence, located within a safe walking distance from the main campus and amenities, is fitted with water and electricity generating technology that allows it to go off-grid. It features several environmentally friendly characteristics that represent the future of higher education accommodation.
Later, on the same day, the University will officially open its new Faculty of Education building on the southern section of the UWC main campus in Bellville. The green building features state-of-the-art classrooms that will set the benchmark for producing educators, and teaching and learning spaces for early childhood development, primary and high school education.
Minister of Higher Education, Science and Technology, Dr Blade Ndzimande, will officially open both buildings.
