De Montfort Hall (built in 1975)
s the number of students kept increasing, it soon become imperative to find
more space. At the same time ABAC was trying to obtain full accreditation from
Office of the National Education Commission (NEC), the Ministry of University
Affairs and the Civil Service Commission. One condition was to have decent
library services. Hence the new project that would accommodate the Office of the
President, the office of the Registrar, class-rooms and offices for lecturers.
At right angle a two story building would harbor a library below ground level
and an assemble hall on the top...It was completed in 1976. Full accreditation
had been granted a year before...At that time, the Office of the President was
on the second floor. It is now the office of the
Vice-President for Academic
Affairs. The Faculty Lounge was the Registrar's office. The fifth floor which
now houses offices for faculty members soon became a library for magazines,
reviews, etc. The opposite room saw the humble beginning of the computer
department and computerization at ABAC.
