University of Ghana Signs Deal for 10,000-Bed Hostel to Address Student Housing Shortage
The University of Ghana has signed a concession agreement with Premier Prime Haven Limited for the development of a 10,000-bed capacity hostel facility. The project forms part of the university’s broader efforts to address its persistent student accommodation challenges.
The development will be undertaken in partnership with the Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund (GIIF) and will consist of 2,720 rooms in total. The room configuration will include 2,420 four-in-one rooms, 150 two-in-one rooms, and 150 single rooms, designed to provide a mix of affordable and flexible accommodation options for students.
The project will be implemented under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement, with the first phase expected to be completed within 12 months.
Beyond the hostel development, the partnership is also expected to facilitate the completion of the College of Humanities building, a component of the stalled Africa Integras project.
University authorities believe the initiative will significantly expand on-campus housing capacity while improving infrastructure to support the growing student population.
