EMTV Video Article: PNG University of Technology’s New Student Mess Included in Master Plan
By Julie Badui-Owa
The PNG University of Technology launched its master plan for the campus as part of their 52nd Anniversary celebration today.
The master plan include the new student mess, designed to a cost of K50 million and will take up to 15 months to build.
The Government allocated K8 million to the University and promised to assist with another K12 million to construct the new student mess.
The University’s master plan was developed over the last two years, by a professional planning company specialized in designing campuses.
The University Council decided to divide the campus into three main areas, which include the residential area, a Uni City and the academic area, including the new student mess.
This is the area to house the new student mess, as the old one was burnt down during the students unrest last year.
Furthermore to their 52nd Anniversary, seven new staff houses for the Unitech School of Nursing were officially opened for use today.
The Government allocated K2.5 million to the nursing school, which assisted the college to build these new houses.
The construction of these houses begun last year in October and saw its completion this this year.
The University’s master plan is available on their new website unitechpng.com, which was also launched today by the University’s Vice Chancellor, Dr. Albert Schram.

EMTV Video Article: PNG Unitech Township Development Master Plan
by Bethanie Harriman EMTV Lae
Lae’s PNG University of Technology (Unitech) campus will be developed into a town centre that will cater for the growing population of the northern part of Lae city, and sustain itself as an institution.
The university has approached investors in various sectors to fund different development components according to their interests.
Unitech solely relies on government funding for its operations, its growth depends on how much money the government allocates annually, and this year, the university was asked by the National Executive Council to cut back on spending.
The PNG University of Technology’s administration is putting together a plan to develop available land on campus into a township that will have shops, banks and business activities that will generate revenue for Unitech’s long-term operations.
An Australian based company, Atlas Urban Design and Strategy, has drawn up the master plan for the university.
Director of the Sydney based company, Paul Walter, has worked on the plan for Unitech and he says the master plan is designed in a way that will suit interested organisations in all sectors.
"This is done in a way that it invites private business houses to invest in the university campus," said Walter.
The plan was presented on April 1 to key players in the private sector and also top ranking bureaucrats at a dinner hosted by Vice Chancellor, Dr. Albert Schram.
The aim now is to gather momentum behind the plan that will bring revenue to the university and help it develop, as well as sustain itself, into the future.
