Within the framework of the Botswana 8th National Development Plan, the project concerned the up-grading of the BRIDEC vocational training centre, located in Gaborone.

The existing facilities was up-graded and transformed into a teacher-training centre and a service centre serving all departments of the Ministry of Education. This objective was achieved by re-organizing the functional layout, refurbishing the existing buildings and adding new facilities.

The new centre includes offices, a conference room and the learning spaces: seminar rooms, workshops, the library, an ITC centre, a computer lab, a video production lab and a video-conference facility. The complex includes also a dining room and hostel accommodation with 160 beds.

The overall surface of the centre is approximately 36,500 sqm, while the surface of the buildings is approximately 4,000 sqm.
