National University Of Science & Technology
Bulawayo, Zimbawe
With a population of over 10 million and a high priority given to education, the Government of Zimbabwe committed to the rapid development of a new University. We were invited to join local architects, Mwamuka Mercuri & Associates to provide the specialist expertise needed to design a state of the art educational facility.
Our involvement covered a wide range of specialist inputs from detailed sector studies – defining the architectural and urban design themes – to design team co-ordination and project management. When completed, the University will provide Zimbabwe with a significant symbol of achievement.
