College of Engineering

The College of Engineering is one of the core flagships of Qatar University. The design process adhered to the Qatar Sustainability Assessment System (QSAS), showcasing the project’s commitment to sustainability within Qatar’s built environment. The college’s 6 departments were strategically distributed across 3 main zones, each equipped with its own integrated services.

Creating a balance among open spaces, semi-shaded, and fully shaded areas establishes a smooth and pleasant transition to and from the main mass. This ensures a seamless blend between the existing context and the College of Engineering’s interior landscape. The architectural design responded to cultural norms by segregating the male and female zones through an exterior concourse and a wooden screen that mimics the ‘mashrabiya’ concept, providing visual privacy.
