For us at Zetech University, Thika Road Main Campus best summarizes our version to the Chinese proverb ‘A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step’. Constructed 14 years after we first made our mark in the Kenyan education scene, the new modern university complex in Ruiru, Kiambu County, perfectly brings to light our early strategic vision of attaining university status in less than 15 years.
The complex which will serve as the college main campus, is located adjacent the Thika Super Highway, an approximate 15-20 minute drive from Nairobi CBD. The facility has been built to accommodate more than 7,000 students at one go pursuing different academic and professional course.
The design of the facility is an inspired piece architectural masterpiece, comprising of four floors with each holding 10,000 square metres space capacity. The building has been built with the primary occupant, the student, in mind. Use of wide stair-cases, elevators and an impressive architectural design to allow in as much natural light as possible, intentionally used to add to the comfort of the student.

Modern Library
The building holds a 750 seater capacity library running across three floors. The facility is set to be fully digitalized in operations such as gaining access, borrowing of books, a fully equipped multi-media centre, installed with high-speed internet service.

A 300 capacity seater amphitheatre hall is located at the top floor. The hall is central in developing students’ co-curricular activities such as drama, music concerts, fashion events among others as a way of producing all rounded students.
Green study and Lounge areas
The building is built with a green theme in mind. This will consist of a bio-degradable sewage system that will recycle raw waste to produce clean water to be used to make the entire campus ground green. Inside the building, there is a student lounge area at the ground floor fully built to allow natural light, hence providing the perfect learning environment.
The ambience of the campus is impressive with well manicured lawns fitted with learning tents and trees for those who prefer natural shade. The back of the building is robust savanna woodland and shrubs to offer shade and outdoor reading garden for students.
