Verna Mineral Water supports Adisadel College in unveiling $300,000 legacy project

Verna Mineral Water, a leading product of Twellium Industrial Company Limited, is set to sponsor the upcoming 115th Anniversary celebrations of Adisadel College, hosted by the Adisadel College Millennium (2000) Year Group in Cape Coast, from March 3 to 9, 2025.

The highly anticipated event will bring together alumni, students, and stakeholders to celebrate Adisadel College’s rich legacy while unveiling the newly refurbished facility.

As part of its commitment to education and community development, Twellium Industrial Company Limited, through Verna Mineral Water and other products, will contribute to this milestone by refreshing students and attendees.

According to Kendrick Yehowada, Head of Events and Special Projects at Twellium Industrial Company Limited, “Giving back and also getting patrons, especially the students, to experience some of our new products” will be a key part of their involvement in the celebrations.

Verna will introduce its premium range of beverages to students and guests, reinforcing its dedication to quality and customer satisfaction.

As part of their commitment to Adisadel College, the Millennium Year Group has embarked on an ambitious project to remodel and refurbish the Job 600 block, transforming it into a modern multi-purpose facility suited to the evolving needs of education.

The newly upgraded facility, which has been under construction for the past 10 months, will be officially unveiled on Saturday, March 8, 2025.

A Bold Vision for the Future

Explaining the rationale behind the group’s project, Richard Nii Amu Arthur, President of the Millennium (2000) Year Group, emphasized the importance of revitalizing existing infrastructure to better serve the needs of students.

“We realized that instead of constructing a new multi-purpose building, it was more prudent to remodel the dilapidated Job 600, which was no longer fit for purpose and did not reflect the status of Adisadel College as a leading institution of higher learning,” he stated.

He further noted, “We decided to enhance STEAM education in the school, which will significantly expand educational infrastructure and facilitate modern learning. As the first alumni group of the new millennium, we feel a strong obligation to set a high standard for our juniors and peers to follow.”

To bring the Job 600 building up to a world-class standard, the group needed to raise $300,000, as the facility had not received any major renovation since its construction in the 1960s. The revitalized Job 600 multi-purpose building will feature:

An Amphitheater

Two Physics Laboratories

A Counseling Center

A Computer Laboratory

A Robotics Center

Classrooms and Staff Rooms

A National Science and Maths Quiz (NMSQ) Room

A Storage Room

Additionally, the group is refurbishing the washrooms beneath the Job 600 block, transforming them into modern facilities that will serve all four houses in Upper School. These upgrades are designed to meet the highest global standards, reaffirming Adisadel College’s reputation as a beacon of academic excellence.

Commemorating 115 Years of Excellence

The 115th Speech and Prize-Giving Day will take place on March 8, 2025, under the theme “The Role of STEAM Education for National Development in the 21st Century.” The keynote address will be delivered by Dr. Ave Kludze Klutse, a NASA scientist, visionary, and proud Santa from the Class of ’83. The special guest for the event will be Otwasuom Osae Nyampong VI.

A Week of Celebratory Activities

A series of engaging academic, social, and sporting events have been planned for the anniversary celebrations, providing opportunities for students, alumni, and faculty to come together in camaraderie.

The schedule includes:

The Millennium Year Group remains dedicated to enriching the educational experience at Adisadel College, embodying the school’s motto: “Others have labored, and we share their glory. Ours is to do exploits and add to their gains.”

With the unveiling of the Job 600 project and the array of planned festivities, the 115th-anniversary celebrations promise to be a momentous occasion in the history of Adisadel College.
