An ultra-modern student centre with a wide variety of facilities and an expansive playing field are today available to students. In just two decades, MKU and its predecessor have come a long way in providing for the welfare of students. MKU precursor TIT, located in Thika town and constrained of space, offered sport-minded students little joy.

“The institute did not have recreational facilities for students,” MKU Dean of Students Evans Mwango recalls. “Students would pour out into the street outside to bask as they waited for the next lesson to start. We would later hire the General Kago Primary School’s field. Students would visit other schools to play games but as an institution, we did not have a field of our own.”
