GTI gets $200m technical centre

The Ken Subraj-Zara Technical Centre

The long-serving GTI got a huge boost yesterday when a $200m technical centre largely funded by former student Ken Subraj was handed over.

The Ken Subraj- Zara Technical Centre was handed over to the institute yesterday via a public-private partnership between the government and the New York-based philanthropist Ken Subraj.

Through this partnership, some $180 million was donated by the ZARA/ Subraj with the Ministry of Education contributing $20 million for the realisation of the building which features several multipurpose classrooms, a special oil and gas classroom and laboratory, a recreation hall, and administrative offices.
