The public facilities of the campus are arranged around a large multifunctional plaza, including a Mosque, a Sports Center, a Teaching & Administration Center, a canteen, stores and student apartment building. According to different season, the plaza can meet different demands and be used as garden, stadium or fountain. 

The facade of the student apartment building is simple and elegant, respecting local architectural style and colors, opens to the outside world but also keeps personal privacy. The volume is mainly square or rectangular, and the height varies from two to five floors. They are well-arranged distributed.

The principal building materials are natural and durable, while the selection of colors is inspired by Morocco’s native culture, mainly in orange, brown and beige. The diversity of building materials and the three-dimensional effect of the building reflect the new interpretation of local architecture in the contemporary context.
