New Campus for Al-Najah National University
Nablus, Palestine

This project is designed so that its buildings are arranged in rows forming terraces that follow the site’s contour lines. The campus features an internal road that loops along its inner border and incorporates two main circulation spines to express a hierarchy of spaces along both the “Educational Spine” and the “Student Facilities Spine.”

 

The campus’s zoning arrangement places the sports facilities, the university mosque, the medical faculties, and the hospital at the edges of the site so that they may serve both the university community and adjacent neighborhoods.This project is designed so that its buildings are arranged in rows forming terraces that follow the site’s contour lines.
