The Pentecost University College (PUC) has inaugurated a seven-storey building to serve as a nursing training school.

The building, whose construction commenced in May 2011, was put up with a loan of GH7.5 million from the bankers of the owners of the PUC, the Church of Pentecost.

Executive members of the council of the church joined the management of the university and some students to tour the facility during the inauguration ceremony.

The block has a conference facility with the capacity to seat 850 people, offices for the academic staff and the administrator, a library and two information technology (IT) laboratories.

It will also accommodate the radio station for the university, Pentvars Radio.

Expansion

The Estate and Development Manager of the PUC, Mr Felix Atsrim, said the university faced the challenge of expanding facilities to meet the growing demand soon after it was granted accreditation to run tertiary programmes.

The management of the university at the time had to grapple with issues of limited classrooms and, in some cases, no classrooms for lectures, he said.
