The new dorms will offer some 485 new rooms to students
The construction of the student dormitories of the Cyprus University of Technology (TEPAK), in Limassol, is just around the corner. This is the largest infrastructure project of the University to date, which will contribute substantially to the growing needs for housing of its students as well as to the quality upgrade of student experience and student life.
The project, which is part of the overall development planning of TEPAK, will be carried out in the former settlement of Veregaria in the Municipality of Kato Polemidia.
An architectural competition was announced for the study and supervision of the project, which was won by the architectural office of Iraklis Papachristou (E. Papachristou LLC), after evaluating a total of 42 submitted proposals.
In a statement during the contract’s signing ceremony, the Rector Zafeiris stated, among other things, that the construction of the privately owned student dormitories of TEPAK is the biggest project undertaken by the University and one of the biggest goals it has set since its establishment. The project, in addition to providing housing at affordable prices, will also provide TEPAK students with a better quality of life and allow them to coexist and co-create.
The project consists of 485 student rooms and a number of other common facilities such as sports facilities. The total cost of the project is estimated at € 40 million and the construction projects are expected to be completed by 2025.
In addition, the project will contribute to the development and remodelling of the area, giving it a completely new and upgraded look, with more color and vibrancy. With the construction of student dormitories in Berengaria, a huge student centre will also be created, which will move 700 students per day, which will drastically change the area and the relationship of the Limassol district with the city centre, for the benefit of not only students but of the citizens of Limassol as well.
