UWI, Cave Hill CampusThe University of the West Indies has campuses at Cave Hill in Barbados, St. Augustine in Trinidad and Tobago and Mona in Jamaica. The Cave Hill campus overlooks the island’s capital and principal commercial centre, Bridgetown, which is just five miles away.
Despite its expansion in recent years, the campus maintains much of its original architecture of simple, low-rise buildings. The scenic attractiveness and relatively small size of the university community creates an inviting, intimate and friendly atmosphere. All Conference sessions will be held at the Solutions Centre, UWI. Social events will be held at the 3Ws Pavilion. |
The Golden Stool - the main administration building, designed with the architectural motif of the Golden Stool of the Ashanti. The cornerstone was laid by the Asantehene (King) of Ashanti, Otumfoe, Osei Tutu 11.
