The University of Goroka signed a K40 million contract with an architectural firm to design its new Central Administration building last week.
The signing also included contracts being awarded to two other construction companies and a project management company to oversee the construction of the new Central Administration building.
The UOG Supply & Tenders Board awarded the contract for the full design of the Central Administration building to Frameworks Architects, valued at K2.3 million.
The project management consultancy services was awarded to Jhimaw Ltd. Both are Goroka-based firms.
The Central Administration building, once completed, will enable the freeing up of teaching and learning facilities when the Support Services Divisions are moved into the new building.
UOG vice-chancellor, Professor Musawe Sinebare, has urged the contractors to fulfil their contractual agreements.
