Delays in Student Dormitory Construction Due to Architectural Competitions
September 16, 2024
The Auditor General, Odysseas Michailidis, expressed opposition to the University of Cyprus awarding projects through architectural competitions, arguing that it poses significant risks to the state. The construction of student dormitories has been stalled for three years since the initiation of procedures, with many more years needed for completion. The university administration intends to announce a new competition, increasing the number of beds and the cost of the project. Michailidis warned that if this process continues, the dormitories won't be available even by 2030.
