The ITHEA College: A happy tenant

What ITHEA says about the Greek Centre: "Even from a purely commercial perspective, it made a lot of sense to relocate our College, ITHEA, to The Greek Centre: new, state of the art building, each floor a blank canvas, at the hub of all transport. The outside of The Greek Centre is very impressive, especially the abstract discuss thrower that has been blended as a feature in the facade of the building... Students, staff and industry colleagues have all expressed their adoration of our accommodation; we too, though, have tried to outfit it with modern equipment, including electronics, audio-visual tools as well as appropriate artwork, colours, furniture etc. The four directors (Peter & Helen Jasonides, Peter & Rose Kyriacou) have Greek heritage and as such, when people visit the college, Greek hospitality is naturally extended."
