Admininstration Building

The Administration Building is undergoing its finishing touches as staff prepare to move to their new offices at the end of July. The building will house the president's office, provost's office, admissions' and registrar's offices, the CIB branch and alumni center.

Conference and meeting rooms located in the Administration Building will, in addition to hosting campus meetings, also support academic conferences by visiting scholars.


Library

The library's new five-story home, overlooking Bartlett Plaza and the university garden, will house the region's largest English-language research collection in Egypt. The transfer of the Main Library to the new campus was divided into two stages -- the compact shelving and the open shelving. The compact shelves have been installed and books began being moved in early June. This stage was successful and was completed ahead of schedule. The second stage -- the supply and installation of the open shelves -- is currently underway. 






Offices

Crews are putting the finishing touches on the administrative and academic offices that will begin to be operational the last week in July.
