THE University of the West Indies (UWI) says despite very tight financial resources, it has prioritised and proceeded with critical repair work and security enhancements at its Debe campus in order to prepare the facility in anticipation of its phased reopening, beginning in August.

In a press release issued at 8.49 pm on Wednesday May 21, the university added that key restoration to the main buildings including the academic building (a three-storey main teaching and learning facility), the students’ union, auditorium/moot court, health facility, cafeteria and gymnasium have already been made "to a high standard" and are ready for occupation.

Furniture and computer equipment are already fitted in the academic spaces and students’ union, the release said.
