The ongoing renovation around the College of Humanities and Social Sciences has led to much noise, which destructs students and lecturers during learning. The broken building materials are spread all over the College, making the compound look shabby and also blocking the pathways to different lecture rooms.

 

The chocking smell from the paint also disrupts the lecturers, students and other people around the College.

 

The Deputy Principal of the College, Dr. Josephine Ahikire says the workers delayed to start work as per the contract.

 

"It is beyond us. The contractor delayed as per the contract and they came late July, two weeks towards the opening," she said.

 

A lecturer who preferred anonymity said there is a lot of noise and dust in some lecture rooms, like Arts Lecture Room 6.

 

"The last time I used the place it was very noisy and dusty, the students could not concentrate because of the noise. Despite the fact that the renovation is good and the place will look good, they would have worked when the students had broken off for holidays," he said.

 

Nanyunja Daphine, a second year student of Bachelor of Journalism and Communication said it is very difficult to access some of the lecture rooms since some pathways have been blocked because of the ongoing renovations.

 

"Some places are restricted and other pathways are full of particles; this disrupts us as students and brings congestion at the College and some of us come late for the lectures," Nanyunja said.

 

"There is a lot of noise generated by the contractors which disrupts us when having lectures and also some falling building materials like broken roofing tiles, cement, nails and pieces of timber can hit any student anytime, which puts our lives at a risk," adds Namusoke Mary, a third  year student pursuing a Bachelor of Journalism  and Communication.
