Due to the varied origins of K. N. Toosi University of Technology, the faculties are not concentrated in one campus and as a result, the university has 5 campuses plus a central building. However, the plan for centralizing the University is underway. Each faculty has its own computer center, library and educational services office. All libraries are attached to the Simorgh library network. Several housing facilities are available for men, women and couples. There are also sports facilities on all campuses. The University is currently programming the development of a branch in Venezuela and also several research centers in Tehran. The Central Building which is located at Mirdamad Ave., Tehran, is actually the managing body of the university and the presidency, all vice presidencies, the central academic services and registerar's office are located at this building. Management of educational services happens through the Golestan educational management system, while research is managed via the Sepid research management system.

Famous quotes containing the word faculties:
“We talk about a representative government; but what a monster of a government is that where the noblest faculties of the mind, and the whole heart, are not represented! A semihuman tiger or ox, stalking over the earth, with its heart taken out and the top of its brain shot away. Heroes have fought well on their stumps when their legs were shot off, but I never heard of any good done by such a government as that.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“In our daily intercourse with men, our nobler faculties are dormant and suffered to rust. None will pay us the compliment to expect nobleness from us. Though we have gold to give, they demand only copper.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Is boredom anything less than the sense of one’s faculties slowly dying?”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
