The Dean of Students, Rev. Dr. Benzie Adu-Koree, on behalf of the university, lauded the Alumni for their support toward ensuring a facelift of the university.
He expressed that "infrastructure development has been one of the main challenges of the university" and that "the buildings on the Akuapem campus received the latest refurbishment in 2004 before the campus was started.

The library for the school is situated in the old chapel," he narrated while requesting more support from stakeholders.
The presentation was witnessed by the chaplain of the campus, Rev. Dr. Ntiri Otopa, some faculty members, SRC executives, and some graduate students who are pursuing International Development.
