Seventh of April University Campus

As part of recent social reforms and developments in the country, 27 new university campuses will be constructed across Libya.

Part of this development is the Seventh of April University Campus in Zuwarah, a city on the Mediterranean coast around 100km west of Tripoli.

The campus project was awarded to a design team of Arup and Group IAD Architects, Madrid.

Arup is providing structural, building services and infrastructure engineering services.

The project includes the design of 14 buildings which make up the campus – along with civil infrastructure works across 45ha.

The design applies the educational idea of ‘learn anywhere, any time’ and encourages maximum academic and social integration. Lecture theatres, IT pods and ‘egg pod’ study and meeting spaces, all clad in copper, provide ample flexible learning spaces.
