The move grows out of a constellation of factors. The administration of MIC had decided this past year to relocate in the Heraklion area since the city can offer its students all of the important amenities of student life including entertainment, museums, cafes and easy access to the airport and port facilities.
The anticipated move was hastened by a recently passed law which provides strict guidelines for college facilities. MIC was fortunate to find an ideal building for its needs and decided to undertake the move now, even though it was given a year to do so. The new campus is in an area that provides excellent, reasonable accommodation for students from abroad and, of course, is easily accessible to those from Heraklion.
MIC’s President, Mr. Nikos Skoulas says that: “The new campus will provide students and faculty with a first-rate learning environment in an area that is already known as a college and university hub in Crete”.
The mayor of Gazi, Mr. George Markogiannakis, expressed his delight with the impending arrival of MIC within his jurisdiction, emphasising the importance of having college level education as part of the community and particularly that provided by a college of MIC’s widely-recognized stature. He went on to point out that the municipality of Gazi can provide MIC and its student body with the services and infrastructure to support their activities.
