New IFRN unit will be installed in a building measuring more than 10 thousand m² on Avenida da Saudade

The unit will operate in a building measuring more than 10 thousand square meters on Avenida da Saudade, in an area where an electrical equipment industry operated, and will have the capacity to serve up to 1,400 students.

According to the federal government, the property will undergo small renovations throughout this semester to adapt the spaces. The forecast is that all furniture and equipment will be delivered by the end of the year, with an additional investment of more than R$10 million.

"The equipment will arrive here by the end of the year so that we can offer the first courses in February or March of next year", stated the Minister of Education, Leonardo Barchini.

The definition of technical and higher education courses will be made after public hearings, which will bring together the community and local representatives to discuss the educational demands of the city and the region.

The expectation for the coming years is to expand the institution's teaching offering, including degrees, undergraduate courses and postgraduate programs.
