Al-Baradi confirmed that the design of the residential units took students' privacy into account, applying the highest security and safety standards and providing elements of comfort and quality, contributing to a distinguished residential experience that enhances quality of life on campus. The ground floor of the building includes a number of essential facilities: a restaurant, a prayer hall, a medical clinic, a reception lounge and a gym, while the upper floors house the student rooms, fitted and furnished to the highest standards of comfort and quality. The project extends the University's efforts to support its targets for expanding recruitment and admission programmes, strengthening the satisfaction of students and their parents, and elevating the university student experience.

The female housing building is complete and ready to operate at the start of the coming academic year, while construction of the male housing continues, as part of an integrated project equipped with modern facilities and services that meet university housing standards and contribute to a safe and motivating residential environment.
