Project Budget: $4,000,000 ECD

The project was financed under the 8th EDF Caribbean Regional Indicative Program (CRIP) and involved the construction of a three-story Science Block at the Antigua State College as part of the OECS Human Resources Development tertiary level programme. 

The Antigua State College, the country’s only institution of higher learning, is the flagship of the education modernisation programme. Eight Departments – Teachers Training, Commercial, Business Studies, Engineering & Construction, Advanced Level, School of Nursing, School of Pharmacy and Undergraduate Studies – comprise the programmes offered at the College. The completion of the Science Block, funded by the EDF resources, will enable the College to offer all programmes in the field of science and technology. Since 1997, the College has been permitted to offer second-year University of the West Indies courses. Graduates of ASC either complete their undergraduate programmes at various UWI campuses and other universities overseas or enter the world of work.
