The University of Guyana (UG) Council yesterday said ‘no’ to a proposal from Vice-Chancellor Ivelaw Griffith to rent the building at the corner of Camp and Lamaha streets, Georgetown, for a downtown campus.
Griffith had submitted a proposal to rent the five-storey building so as to facilitate “pursuit of an entrepreneurial vision and to enable easy access by the potential participants in the continuing and new programming focused on sustainable development through entrepreneurship and innovation.”
He justified the acquisition of the space by stating the there was a lack of appropriate space at the Turkeyen Campus and that there was a need to introduce new programmes and other revenue-generating measures.
