About ESC

The Engineering and Science Complex is a proposed modern complex designed to enable the University of Nairobi to revolutionise science, engineering, and information technology training, thereby achieving Kenya's Vision 2030.

This flagship project, championed at the presidential level, seeks to drive a paradigm shift in the higher education sector. It is implemented through a partnership between the Government of Kenya and the French Development Agency (AFD).

The ESC will host cutting-edge labs, collaborative learning spaces, and research infrastructure. Primarily, it aims to foster a triple helix mode of operation that ensures sustainability is embedded in the engagements of academia, industry, and government; these are the initial steps of forming entrepreneurial universities.
