For more than five decades,
Republic Bank has been a feature on
the St. Augustine Campus – starting in a tiny space next to Daaga
Hall to its current facility on the western side of the Campus. In just
16 months, however, Republic Bank will become a landmark at the
northern entrance to the Campus when the construction of a $60
million branch is complete. This spanking new branch will support
the needs of the Campus community as well as environs
(Curepe, St.
Augustine, Tunapuna).
The St. Augustine Campus has entered into a landmark private
sector-university partnership with Republic Bank. Construction, on
prime land of The University, is the first phase of a broader, more
transformative partnership with the concurrent construction of a
new building for the Department of Creative and Festival Arts and
the future development of a modern ‘Northern Plaza’ at the Campus
entrance.
Executive Director Derwin Howell
noted that
“Over the course
of the past five decades, our relationship with both The University
and the community continued to grow and it moved even beyond our
commitment to provide signature financial products and services”.
He
continued,
“as many of you know, we have been a long-time stalwart of
young adult empowerment initiatives, such as Career Fest and theWorld
of Work Programme. While we have continued and have grown that
support, we are always eager to do more, especially in novel, ground-
breaking ways...both figuratively and literally.”
St. Augustine Campus
Pro Vice-Chancellor and Principal
Professor Clement Sankat
made the point that
“it is through these types
of partnerships (commercial as well as philanthropic), that Universities
such as ours can continue to be transformational and make a significant
positive impact upon our collective development.”
