Campus Components

The campus master plan has a linear organization with key functions located at its centre or core. The ends of the Main Campus are anchored on one side by the Medical Campus and by the outdoor sports facilities on the other. The plan is comprised of two linked but separated sides, one for men and one for women. The Main and Medical Campuses are brought as close as possible to encourage communication between them. The main student social, fitness, recreational, dining and retail facilities crucial to student life are centered in the campus. They form the heart of the campus, associated with primary entry courts and meeting spaces on both the Men’s and Women’s sides.

Colleges are grouped into 3 clusters of related colleges as follows:
      - Cluster A: Arts, Education, Law, Shari’a, Social Sciences
      - Cluster B: Science, Engineering, Business Administration, Women (Women’s campus )
      - Cluster C: Medicine, Pharmacy, Dentistry, Applied Health

Clusters A and B are located on the portion of the site east of University Avenue, one on each side of the campus “Heart ”. Cluster C is located on the property west of University Avenue. Sites for two future colleges are provided to the west of the Main Campus, and one to the east. A fourth location for a new college is provided to the south west of the Medical Campus.

A network climate protected pedestrian pathways allows students, faculty and staff to circulate throughout the campus. Starting from the parking lots, students will walk along tree-lines alleys and shaded walkways to the campus buildings.
