A total of $17 million dollars have been transferred to the UWI thus far to cover arrears and payment for the first months of operation.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The UWI Fourth Landed Campus is set open its doors on 1st<\/sup> September 2019. On that Sunday afternoon, it will hold an Ecumenical Service of Thanksgiving at the St. John\u2019s Cathedral. On the Tuesday afternoon, September 3rd<\/sup> 2019, there will be a grand opening ceremony at the Five Islands Campus. The Public Works has been preparing the grounds and sprucing-up the buildings.<\/p>\n

$500,000 have been approved for the purchase of computers and other necessary supplies, to meet the high-tech needs of the Campus. Three additional buildings are to be added to the Campus, two stories each, construction to commence in early November 2019. A beautiful architectural rendering, going back to the 2009 ABLP Manifesto when the journey started, will also be constructed on the Campus grounds. A Trust has been created that already has a Chairman and a Vice Chairman nominated; more donations and contributions are expected to be provided.<\/p>

The Government says that this is the greatest achievement since 1981.<\/p>
