On Saturday, March 8, during the school’s 115th Speech and Prize-Giving Day, the Millennium Year Group officially handed over the remodeled Job 600 building, a state-of-the-art facility that now serves as a cornerstone of academic excellence at Adisadel College.
The project, costing over GHC 4 million, was entirely funded through internal contributions (GHc 4,742,582.48), external donations (GHc 500,000), and sponsorships (GHc 757,417.52).
President of the Millennium Year Group, Richard Nii Amu Arthur, emphasized the group’s dedication to setting new standards. “Rather than constructing a new structure, we identified an essential yet deteriorating facility on campus—the Job 600 (Science Building).
Through extensive consultations, we resolved to revamp this multi-purpose building to align with global academic standards, ensuring that Adisadel College remains at the forefront of excellence.”
The newly renovated facility now boasts modernized classrooms, an amphitheater, an Emerging Technology Lab, a National Science & Mathematics Quiz (NSMQ) Room, a Media Center, and upgraded staff and administrative offices, among other enhancements.
