An iconic landmark in the heart of the city, the century-old University Visvesvaraya College of Engineering (UVCE) at K.R. Circle on Thursday will don a new, improved look, while keeping its heritage values intact.
On Thursday, Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai will inaugurate the newly-built and renovated buildings. Works worth ₹200 crore have been taken up at the UVCE campus, including the renovation which, officials said, has been carried out while maintaining the historical beauty of the buildings.
While the new hostel is being constructed at a cost of ₹22 crore and will accommodate more than 1,000 students in the future, it also has a two-storey dining hall. The main building features Greco-Roman architecture, soundproof classrooms, and a sprawling amphitheatre, which can accommodate 1,000 people.
