Exciting news for the ATU community as Accra Technical University (ATU) takes another step towards making campus life more convenient for students through a new partnership with Laundry Room.
The partnership will introduce an online laundry service that allows students to have their clothes picked up, professionally cleaned and delivered back to them. The service will also be available to staff of the University.
The arrangement was formalised with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between ATU and Laundry Room on Tuesday, 11 August 2026, at the University’s Council Chamber.
Under the arrangement, students and staff can subscribe to the service through an online platform without having to visit the laundry facility themselves. From collection to cleaning and delivery, the process is designed to provide a simple option for members of the University community who need laundry services.
At the signing ceremony, the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Amevi Acakpovi, welcomed the partnership and expressed the University’s commitment to initiatives that improve the experience of students on campus.
He explained that while the University’s primary responsibility is education, creating a good learning environment also involves paying attention to the everyday needs of students. He noted that services that save students time can allow them to focus more on their academic work and other important activities.
The Head of Department of Hotel Catering and Institutional Management, Dr. Linda Dede Graham, who was instrumental in the collaboration, expressed appreciation to the Management of the University and Laundry Room for supporting the initiative. She noted that partnerships of this nature provide practical solutions to some of the everyday needs of students and staff.

The Chief Executive Officer of Laundry Room, Mr. Benjamin Bortey, thanked ATU for the opportunity to work with the University. He explained that the service is intended to bring professional laundry services closer to the University community and make the process easier for users.
