Uganda Christian University (UCU) has unveiled the architectural design for its upcoming Senate Building, a four-storeyed structure that will serve as the administrative hub of the university.
The Vice Chancellor, Prof. Aaron Mushengyezi, presented the building design to the Chairperson of the University Council, Rt. Rev. Prof. Alfred Olwa, during a handover ceremony held on July 31, 2025.
Designed by Keije Architects and Developers Limited, the new facility will be constructed on the open grounds below the Hamu Mukasa Library, and is expected to reshape the campus layout. It will centralize key university functions and house the offices of the Vice Chancellor, Academic Affairs, and Finance and Administration divisions.
The proposed structure will also feature a modern 500-seater auditorium, a Council hall, and multiple boardrooms, aimed at enhancing efficiency and collaboration in university governance.
The development is part of UCU’s broader Campus Transformation Initiative, which the Vice Chancellor launched in 2024.
“I am so excited about the Senate building. I cannot wait to see it come to fruition. It is going to be a hub where UCU central administration will coordinate and transact day-to-day business,” said Bishop Prof. Olwa, commending the vision behind the project.
He further urged the UCU community to support the initiative, stating, “Today, we unveiled its architectural design, which is very beautiful. I call upon UCU stakeholders to pray about this project and support where possible.”
Prof. Mushengyezi described the project as a bold step in UCU’s journey of institutional transformation.
“Senate building will be a one-stop centre for the university’s core operations, so that our students and stakeholders can receive quality services under one roof. I thank the architects for a job well done,” he said.
The project is expected to enhance service delivery, improve administrative coordination, and reinforce UCU’s commitment to academic excellence and innovation.
