In 2012, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) Bloemfontein embarked on the upgrading of its office building to accommodate a growing staff complement and to modernise its facilities. The newly renovated offices officially opened its doors to the public on 30 September 2014.
Each of the new consultation and boardrooms has its own theme and gives homage to the most prominent landmarks in Bloemfontein. The boardroom was named after the University of the Free State – ‘Kovsies’.
Prof Jonathan Jansen officially opened the venue with a ceremonial ribbon-cutting on 9 September 2014.
