Medical students get their own space

The UWI Faculty of Medical Sciences has begun work on a Student Study/Recreational Centre to be built at the Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex at Mt Hope.

St. Augustine Campus Principal Professor Clement Sankat noted that expansion at Mt Hope has not been at the same pace in recent times as at the St. Augustine Campus, but the medical students’ needs were the same.

He explained that the St. Augustine Campus did not own the facilities where the Faculty of Medical Sciences was housed.

“This is the second building which the campus has constructed at Mount Hope. The first was the Veterinary School,” said Professor Sankat.

He said the recreational centre will be outfitted with computer labs, study rooms, meeting rooms, and recreational facilities for lawn tennis and table tennis and a minimart.
