First AUC Employees Move to New Campus

The new campus development office will go down in AUC’s history as the first to move to the new campus location. The step was taken as a means of enhancing day-to-day work interaction.
 
“We have three groups on site that require continuous interaction at this stage of the project: the contractor, the project management team and AUC’s new campus development team,” said Ashraf Salloum, director of planning and design. Salloum noted that as project tasks have switched from design to construction activities, the office’s presence at the site is critical at this stage.
 
To ensure direct coordination for both the project management team and the new campus development team, a site office has been established next to the contractor’s office. In addition, preparations for the move included communication systems and data links to university networks.
 
“We’re quite excited as we move from the vision in the design documents to actual realization of the new campus,” Salloum said.
