Director of the Learning Resource Centre, Mr Kenyatta Augustine said, “We are pleased to be the recipient of this grant. The College sees this initiative as advancing its environmental policy, which calls for the institution to develop sound environmental practices across all areas of the College.”

Mr Augustine added, “In addition to decreasing the library’s environmental footprint, it is hoped that the solar array will also serve as a training lab for the Solar Technician Training Programme being offered at the College this spring.”
