The Faculty of Medical Sciences Officially Opening of the

Refurbished Computer Labs

On March 10, 2025, the Faculty of Medical Sciences celebrated the official inauguration of its newly renovated computer laboratories. The event saw the refurbished Hopwood Center, situated above the library, which is now equipped with 50 computers. Additionally, Labs 1 and 2 on the first floor of the faculty building have been enhanced with 135 new computers. During the ceremony, a donor board was also unveiled, recognizing all individuals who have supported this initiative. As medical education has shifted towards computer-based assessment, and also our faculty is continuing to upgrade itself constantly. This initiative was born out of the difficulties that the faculty experience every year to find adequate space to conduct final examinations, which are all computer-based, especially for the Mbbs program, which has over 200 final year students sitting exams. Medical education has advanced, and it has made it essential to integrate our technology into teaching. These newly renovated, labs with state-of-the-art computers will be used to enhance our teaching and learning through modern technology by investing in digital infrastructure the faculty will ensure that students have the necessary tools to excel in their studies and future careers.This achievement, however, would not have been possible without the significant monetary contributionof the faculties, administrators, the it professionals involved in the renovation of this lab. The collective effort has created a facility that we are all very proud of. Although these facilities are housed in the faculty of medical sciences, I wish to extend an invitation to all our faculty Deans on the campus to use the facilities if needed because when we were in need they were always willing to facilitate us, and we will do the same for them.
