Moi University has commissioned the construction of a 26-storey complex in Eldoret town.
The building, to be known as Moi University Pension Scheme (Mups) Plaza, is set to cost a whopping Sh3.1 billion.
The new building will also provide office space, which has been a big challenge in the town.
Mups Trustee Chebutuk Rotich said the iconic establishment will have parking for 600 vehicles excluding external parking lots.

“The building is expected to help address the parking crisis in the central business district as it will have three basement sections and another two above the mezzanine floor,” he observed.
The building is expected to be ready for occupation by December next year.
Internet connectivity
Rotich said the complex would have all the amenities expected in a modern building.
“It will host a restaurant on the 16th floor with a gym and swimming pool besides. In addition, every floor will have self-sufficient Internet connectivity,” he explained.
He noted that doctors had already expressed interest in occupying one floor.
The building will also have three dedicated standby generators and a borehole.
Clients will access the building either using access cards or finger biometric readings, besides screening at the main gate, and every floor will have CCTV cameras for enhanced security.
The Standard has also learnt that members of the county executive commiteee as well as Transition Authority and former local authorities staff will be housed in the building.
