He recalled that the building housing the Akuapem campus of the Presbyterian University used to be the accommodation of the headmaster of the first middle school in Akropong and a wooden dormitory and chapel converted into the faculty and library of the University.
The Dean of Students commended the Alumni Association for their effort to give back to the institution and hoped that the gesture would go a long way to address some of the infrastructural challenges of the school.
