Kisii University plans to construct a 19-story student hostel within the campus, according to Vice Chancellor Prof Nathan Ogechi. The high-rise accommodation facility aims to address the growing demand for student housing as the institution expands. The project, funded by the government and part of the affordable housing program, will transform the skyline of Kisii town when completed, becoming the tallest building in the county capital.
The university currently has around 7,000 students enrolled for the current academic year, leading to increased pressure on existing accommodation facilities. Prof Ogechi emphasized that the investment is necessary as the university admits more students, ensuring a conducive learning environment. The project aligns with ongoing infrastructure expansion efforts to support university growth.
Once finished, the 19-story structure will not only increase the university's accommodation capacity but also serve as a new architectural landmark for Kisii.
