Location

The university main campus is located approximately 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) south of the central business district of the town of Kitengela, Kajiado County, Kenya. This location lies off the Nairobi-Kajiado-Namanga Road, approximately 40 kilometres (25 mi) south of Nairobi, the capital of Kenya and the largest city in that country.[1] The approximate coordinates of the university campus are:1° 39' 0.00"S, +36° 54' 0.00"E (Latitude:-1.6500; Longitude:36.9000). The coordinates are approximate because the university campus does not yet show on most publicly available maps in January 2012.

The university also has another campus located at View Park Towers, Utalii Lane within the CBD (Central Business District) in Nairobi.

History

The idea to start the university was conceived in 2005. In 2006, 100 acres (0.40 km2) of land were acquired in Kitengela, for the purpose of establishing the university.[2] Application was then made to the Commission for University Education () for a Tertiary Education Institution License. The license was granted in November 2010 and was handed over to the university officials by the chairman of the commission, Prof. Ezra Maritum.[3]
