The Institute, located some eight miles 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. Greenhill with its white buildings and surrounded by green vegetation and the Achimota Forest Reserve, is a sport 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 back-ground, the Kotoka International Airport, part of the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission and the hills of the Akwapim Range.
