About Pakistan Finance College (PFC)
PFC is located in the most historical and culturally rich city in Pakistan. Lahore, also the center of higher education in Pakistan, offers a vibrant, intellectually welcoming and diverse environment. It is a city of over 6.5 million people and a great starting point from which to begin to know Pakistan. Lahore has a small but vibrant expatriate community; over twenty consulate offices are based in the city and much of the international cultural life revolves around them. There is an active French Center, a well patronized American Club and a German cultural center located in the Annemarie Schimmel Haus. In addition, local cultural life is intimately linked to the Alhambra Arts Council, the historic Old City as well as the numerous exhibitions and art galleries.
The College premises are located in Shadman Chowk. In keeping with Lahore’s architectural history, the PFC campus too echoes the city’s traditional red brick exteriors. The campus is constructed along uncomplicated straight exteriors, extended rectangular arches and a central octagon from which the buildings fan out. Its layout is in keeping with what PFC aims to do and has already done, i.e. cementing the traditions of Lahore’s educational institutions of the past but always looking ahead, anticipating change and going forward to meet it.
