The main objective of this campus was to provide an opportunity of Higher Education to female gender of far-flung areas of Punjab at their doorstep. Later on, 25 acres of land on Jhang-Chiniot road was provided by Govt. of Punjab in 2007 for establishing LCWU Jhang Campus.
The funds for this purpose were provided by Higher Education Commission, Islamabad under the project “Essential Infrastructure for LCWU Lahore, Jhang Campus” at an approved cost of Rs.793.197 million on April 13, 2015.

All the administration offices have also been shifted to the new admin block.
