The University of the West Indies Five Islands Campus (UWIFIC) is set for a major expansion, with KS&P Limited, a Trinidad-based engineering consultancy, leading the design and supervision phase. The project, supported by an $80 million loan from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, will include the construction of new dormitories and other key facilities.<\/p>

Education Minister Daryll Matthew, who announced the contract award on Wednesday, emphasized the transformative potential of the expansion, describing it as pivotal in establishing UWIFIC as a leading academic hub in the Caribbean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Darren Sirju, lead consultant for KS&P Limited, expressed the company’s excitement about contributing to the campus\u2019s development, promising a collaborative and high-value project for Antigua and its people.<\/p>
