Housing for Students
With the purpose of providing accommodation to students who live far away or are from other cities and countries, the University in its Debbieh Campus offers dormitories that allow these students to have peace of mind to carry out their academic sessions, in addition to providing the student with the resources to attend classes punctually and safely.
Debbieh Campus was established in 2006 and is located 33 km from Beirut city. The land spans over an area of 1,353,000 m2, and the total built area is 52,538 m2.
It comprises four buildings for the faculties and the administration, two buildings for student dorms, two buildings for staff dorms, gymnasium, mosque, astronomical observatory, cafeteria, open theater, and student lounge.
The Campus currently holds three Faculties: Architecture – Design & Built Environment, Engineering, and Science.
Debbieh Campus comprises two separate dorms: the girls’ dorms and the boys’ dorms. These are two buildings located inside the campus in close proximity to the parking lot. The dorms encompass a mini-market which includes basic needs of students and a private gym for students enrolled in the dorms. Our student and staff dorms are all self-catered.
