The Library
The Archbishop Kiwanuka Library, housed in a newly constructed and beautiful building, is located on the main campus, at Nkozi, between the Cardinal Wamala Auditorium and the Mapeera building where the Librarian's office and post graduate lecture rooms are situated. This is adjacent to the main quadrangle.

The new Library was commissioned officially by the Nuncio on 31st August 2002 at a colourful ceremony. Construction period of the Library lasted almost three years. The ultra modern Library is named after the late Archbishop Kiwanuka who first conceived the idea of establishing a Catholic University in Uganda. It has a seating capacity of three-hundred students, over 13,000 print volumes, CD ROMs. containing recent journals and 24 computers linked to the Internet. It also accomodates a small museum that is operated by the ARDC.
