The Mona campus of the University of the West Indies (UWI) is leveraging assets owned in the form of land to overhaul infrastructure that is more than 50 years old and build new facilities.
Those projects are expected to help pay for themselves later through revenue from non-subsidised extra-regional students.
Principal and Pro Vice-Chancellor of UWI Mona Professor Archibald McDonald said Wednesday that the university has in blueprint some $100 billion in projects: $100 billion for Mona campus itself and a construction project for its western campus in Montego Bay estimated at US$170 million ($20 billion).
