Kuwait University has just planned a new 10 year project. The project involves construction of a new University City that will provide a modern campus with state of the art facilities for academic staff, students and other employees of Kuwait University. The Government of Kuwait has allocated 5.2 square kilometres of land in the Al Shadidiyah area for the project. The new campus will be co-educational with segregated facilities. It will include several faculties, dormitories, sports facilities and auditoriums as well as car parks for several thousand vehicles. There will also be a medical school and an associated 400-bed teaching hospital. The university city will be developed in stages over ten years and will eventually accommodate up to 40,000 students, permitting the consolidation of Kuwait University’s various existing campuses around the city. The campus will cost about $3 billion over ten years. The planning and design for the new university is being carried out by the Canadian Consortium of Architects and Buro Happold.
