LAHORE: A delegation from USAID Islamabad visited Forman Christian College (A Chartered University) this morning to monitor progress on the new women’s hostel being constructed on the FCC campus with US$6 million support from USAID.
The 10-member USAID delegation was led by Ms Patrice Lopez, Contracting & Agreement Officer, and included Mr Muhammad Ali Bilal, Acquisition Specialist, and Mr Zaki M. Saad, Deputy Director Office of Infrastructure & Engineering. The FCC Rector Dr James Tebbe, and the Project Manager Mr Tajammul John, took the delegation on a tour of the site.
The hostel is a 6-storey building with accommodation for 374 female students. This will allow FCC to recruit more women students from far-flung areas of Pakistan. Currently women make up 34 per cent of the university student body and FCC’s goal is to raise the number to 50 per cent. The hostel will be completed in May 2014.
