Buildings, classrooms, laboratories, and equipment-education infrastructure- are crucial learning environments in universities. The provision of high-quality infrastructure facilitates better instruction, improves student outcomes, and reduces dropout rates, among other benefits. An educational institution's infrastructure is one factor that assists in the provision of a positive and conducive atmosphere which becomes a catalyst in the learning process of the students. The infrastructure at Xavier University encourages students to get actively involved in both practical and theory classroom activities.
The campus becomes synonymous with home to the students. It offers students the opportunity to explore themselves, a place where they can identify themselves, shape their careers, and have the expert guidance to walk on the right path.
