The KEEP building houses state-of-the-art laboratories and teaching facilities for the digital development and energy thematic areas: the Responsible Artificial Intelligence Lab (RAIL), the Power Systems Lab, and the Renewable Energy Lab. There are lecture halls and a postgraduate study room for independent studies.
Since its inception in 2019, the KEEP project's core mandate has been to deliver high-quality postgraduate courses and conduct applied research to address developmental challenges.
KEEP is concerned with bridging the gap between industry and academia and improving the quality of Ghana's postgraduate engineering education.
KEEP is funded by the Government of Ghana as part of the World Bank’s Africa Centres of Excellence for Development Impact (ACE Impact) Project hosted by the KNUST College of Engineering.
