The University of Liberia is negotiating with Saah Hardy Joseph’s Ducor Institute for temporary classrooms to accommodate students during six months of renovation work. The proposed agreement still needs to be finalised to allow classes to resume, according to a university source cited by The Liberian Investigator.

The University of Liberia (UL), a public institution, is discussing with the Ducor Institute, headed by Montserrado County Senator Saah Hardy Joseph, the provision of temporary classrooms for six months to allow classes to resume during renovation and modernisation works on its campuses, The Liberian Investigator reports. The agreement has not yet been finalised, a source at UL confirmed on Thursday.

The spaces being considered are notably in Mount Barclay and New Georgia, as well as at the Fendall campus and facilities at Tubman High School. An online teaching platform is also among the solutions being considered, according to the same media outlet.

The president of the University of Liberia, Layli Maparyan, has obtained the support of Liberian President Joseph Nyuma Boakai for the infrastructure works, according to the source cited by The Liberian Investigator. The rehabilitation project is intended to go beyond routine repairs and form part of a broader operation to renovate, improve and modernise the campuses.
