The brand-new department of Estate Management and Valuation (EMV) emerged alongside the Faculty of Environmental Sciences, the departments of Surveying and Geoinformatics, Urban and Regional Planning, Architecture and the upgrading of a program:- Environmental Resources Management to a full-fledged department. These new departments evolved with the expansion of the Department of Geography and Environmental Science into a full-blown Faculty of Environmental Sciences.
