Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology (MMUST) and the National Housing Corporation (NHC) have signed a partnership to construct a modern hall complex at a cost of Sh90 million to curb the accommodation crisis amid rising student population.

The project, expected to be complete in four months using the Expanded Polystyrene System (EPS), an innovative building technology, is aimed at improving the university's academic infrastructure due to the high student population that has so far hit 23,000.
