University of Kigali is thrilled to announce that the design for its new campus, developed by the award-winning architectural firm Wall Corporation, has earned significant international recognition. The campus project won the German Design Award 2025 in the Excellent Architecture category and in addition, has been selected as a Finalist among over 1,200 entries in Italy’s prestigious The Plan Awards, a highly respected international architecture competition.
