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)
“It is very rare that you meet with obstacles in this world which the humblest man has not faculties to surmount. It is true we may come to a perpendicular precipice, but we need not jump off, nor run our heads against it. A man may jump down his own cellar stairs, or dash his brains out against his chimney, if he is mad.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The Good of man is the active exercise of his soul’s faculties in conformity with excellence or virtue.... Moreover this activity must occupy a complete lifetime; for one swallow does not make spring, nor does one fine day; and similarly one day or a brief period of happiness does not make a man supremely blessed and happy.”
—Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)
