KARACHI, May 14: Construction of three new buildings meant for three science departments at the University of Karachi is to be started on Thursday (May 15).

A spokesman for the university said that the chairman of the Higher Education Commission, Prof Attaur Rehman, would perform the earth-breaking for the departments of Applied Physics, Biotechnology and Food Science & Technology.
The federal government is funding the project and after its completion, process of providing modern scientific equipment would start, said the spokesman adding that the new well-equipped departments would surely help improve the standard of teaching and research work further.
Meanwhile, according to a KU press release, Vice Chancellor Dr Zafar Saied Saify has said that the work for the construction of a building for Business School, formerly Department of Business Administration, would also be started soon.
