Extension and Alteration of the Teaching Hospital at Malawi University of Science and Technology (MUST)

The proposed works shall include the construction of a three-storey structure to match the existing number of floors for the existing building, purposefully designed to work and function as a hospital, with special consideration to all technical requirement for a Hospital Building to make sure it is accessible by all groups of people regardless of their physical ability. Ideally, the teaching hospital extension shall be used for the following purposes but not limited to the same, as such the consultant shall do their own research to enhance a functional approach for the facility. The floor matrix combination is that one desired by the client as annotated by Ground floor (GF), First floor (FF) and Second Floor SF). If, however, there is a strong design challenge to the preferred floor matrix as proposed by the client, the consultant shall liaise with the client and propose an alternative combination.

-Restore the University’s facilities outlook -Operationalise the teaching hospital as learning facility -offer specialized critical medical care to the public - Increase income generating capacity for the University -Reduce medical tourism for specialized medical services

Description The Malawi University of Science and Technology (MUST) was established by an Act of Parliament Number 31 of 2012 with the aim of promoting the development, adaptation, transfer and application of science, technology and innovation for macro- and micro-economic development of Malawi. Its vision is “a world class centre of science and technology education, research and entrepreneurship” which is being realised through the provision of a conducive environment for quality education, training, research, and entrepreneurship, and outreach activities. The University enrolled its first cohort of students in April 2014 but was officially opened on October 24, 2014 by His Excellency the President, Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika, who is also its first Chancellor. MUST has four operational schools: the Malawi Institute of Technology (MIT), Ndata School of Climate and Earth Sciences (NSCES), Academy of Medical Sciences (AMS), and Bingu School of Culture and Heritage (BISCH). These schools are headed by Executive Deans. Established in 2014, the MIT is currently offering seven undergraduate and two postgraduate academic programmes in areas of Engineering, Computer and Information Technology, Innovation and Entrepreneurship. The NSCES is currently offering seven undergraduate programmes in earth science, climate science, sustainable energy and water resources. The BISCH was operationalised in 2017 and is offering three undergraduate programmes in sports science, African Musicology and Indigenous Knowledge Systems and Practice.
