KIMATHI UNIVERSITY-GEGIS





Kimathi University College of Technology (KUCT) is a public, coeducational technological university in Nyeri, Kenya. It is one of 20 public universities and constituent colleges in Kenya, one of four constituent colleges of Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology, and it employs a strong emphasis on scientific and technological programmes.
It started as a middle-level national technical and business-oriented learning institution in 1972 and was elevated in 2007 to a constituent university college of Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) through a Kenya Gazette notice to become a full-fledged university in three years.[1]
It is located approximately 6 km from Nyeri along the Nyeri - Mweiga highway. The entire college land spans about 1,000 acres (4.0 km2) consisting of 350 acres (1.4 km2) of natural forest, 350 acres (1.4 km2) of mature coffee and 300 acres (1.2 km2) of open space for expansion
On 26 November 2008 construction of a modernistic, multi-purpose resource centre began. The second phase, out of four, of this project reached completion in late 2010 and the whole project is expected to be completed sometime in 2012 and will serve as the main hub for most activities and events of the college.
