For his part, the Head of Institutional Affiliation Office, Dr. Justice K. G.A. Boateng noted that the building will serve several purposes to meet the needs of institutions affiliated to UCC. 

He said it will be used to run the online component of outreach programmes  in partnership with corporate organisations, government agencies, and institutions.

Dr. Boateng expressed appreciation to the Management of the University for approving the construction of the edifice.

"We used to operate from a limited space within the New Examination Centre, which was not too conducive for the kind of services we render to our affiliate institutions and other stakeholders," he noted.

He thanked the Constructor for the good work done and the Directorate of Physical Development and Estate Management (DPDEM) for effectively supervising the construction.
