Ajayi Crowther University, Oyo situated and lying along Oyo Ogbomoso road was opened to members of the public in January 2005 at the old site of St. Andrew’s College of Education Oyo.

The University is well connected to the 33KVA national grid for a regular supply of electricity.  We also have standby generating sets for power supply.  Water supply is not a problem as all office buildings and student hostels are connected to the main water reticulation reservoir for easy flow of water.

The University has installed fibre-optics and 24/7 internet connectivity for members of the academic community including staff and students to increase opportunities for study through digital technology and modern techniques.

The post of Director of Works is currently vacant, while the Directorate is supervised through the Vice-Chancellor’s Office by an Acting Director – Dr. Engr. Akinwonmi
