On Wednesday September 23, 2020, Mr. Adil K. Sattar (Godley ’92) donated for the construction of the first additional senior boarding house since 1890.
ACOBA officials, senior staff and an array of special guests enjoyed a tour of the chosen site.
This new boarding house is to be named in honour of Adil’s parents and will be known as K&N’s House [Khalil and Naushaba’s House].
