SETTING / LOCATION

The Institute, located some thirteen kilometres north of the city of Accra, is housed on a 150 acres high ground at Greenhill, off the Achimota - Legon road and within a stone's throw of the University of Ghana, Legon.  Greenhill, with its white buildings and surrounded by green vegetation and the Achimota Forest Reserve, is a spot of striking and restful scenic beauty.  On clear days it commands in one long panoramic sweep, a view embracing the University of Ghana with the undulating Accra Plains in the background, the Kotoka International Airport, the plush Westlands Residential area and the hills of the Akwapim Range.
