The aspiration of the school is that the new building will demonstrate an outstanding level of quality in both the processes of design and development and in the finished product. The resulting design will provide an excellent working environment to encourage high quality research, teaching and learning. Zoning Respecting the land shape in building design
helps in achieving an open design. The effective distribution of usage consider offering the links between blocks to obtain direct circulation .The new building will demonstrate an outstanding level of quality in relation to all of the disciplines within the school. It will be a building of international architectural merit, with highly integrated landscaping and urban design features that will make a significant contribution to the surrounding campus and community. It will demonstrate the best practices of engineering, fabrication, construction and servicing.

other teaching spaces for tutorials and seminars, including spaces highly engaged with digital media and immersive projection. These will provide acoustic and visual privacy for students, and will be equipped with whiteboards and digital projection facilities. Spaces and furniture should be flexible so that these spaces can be used for the display of student design work at the end of each semester.
Dinning &M.P.H (Block 2)
The building will include Dining hall in Ground floor linked to the Dorm in Ground level in addition to a direct access from school
central yard. Dinning is linked with it's services and kitchen which offer an easy loading/unloading to parking area directly. The
