The Master plan includes nineteen complexes, three residential living student dormitories that will accommodate one thousand students, a student union, an athletic center, a library, and several academic centers. The project’s first phase is a $34 million multipurpose building with administrative offices, student activity offices, multi-media rooms, and classrooms.
