Other University Infrastructure Projects
Divine Word University continues to build its institutional capacity in order to facilitate and strengthen the academic programs that are being offered and to provide quality training for its undergraduate and postgraduate full-time and flexible learning students enrolled into these programs.
DWU Madang Campus
The following are infrastructure projects currently in progress at DWU’s Madang Campus:
- Electrical Upgrade Project – PGK1 million
This project is currently being implemented in four phases and involves an upgrade and increase in size of the University’s current power line system to cater for the additional new building infrastructure that has resulted from the University’s growth and expansion.
The installation of the underground cables would be done in the following phases:
Phase 1 – Old Generator (Main Gate) to SVD House and SVD House to FMHS Lecture Building
Phase 2 – New Generator (AJ Auditorium) to Switchboard
Phase 3 – Switchboard to DWU Chapel and DWU Chapel to FMHS Lecture Building
Phase 4: FMHS Lecture Building to Old Generator (Main Gate)
- St. Joseph Freinademetz Chapel Renovation and Extension Project – PGK 2.3 million
Divine Word University has always been concerned for the spiritual growth and genuine well-being of all the members of its community. The chaplaincy services on DWU’s Madang campus follow the Catholic tradition and ethos but the St. Joseph Freinademetz Chapel is open to people of all faiths, in line with the values of the University. Thus, the Pastoral Team (PT) of the DWU Madang Campus is currently raising funds to begin work on the renovation and extension of the St. Joseph Freinademetz Chapel to serve the growing number within DWU and its neighboring communities.
At present, the Pastoral Team with the support of the DWU community and its alumni have raised PGK200, 000 towards this project and have also attempted to source funding from other possible donors and partners.
