The campus is jointly used by this faculty and the Faculty of Geodesy and Geomatics Engineering. Some important books such as the first Book in Marine and Offshore Structures in Iran "Design of Marine and Offshore Structures Book" written by Dr. Kabir Sadeghi have been published by K.N. Toosi University of Technology Press. The library contains about 7,000 books in Persian, 6,000 books in English and other foreign languages, 130 journals in different languages, and 150 thesis and research reports. The university's bookshop is located on this campus. There is also a housing facility and some sport facilities. The faculty has several fully equipped labs used for research or teaching.
The laboratories are as follows:
Structural Engineering Laboratories: Concrete, Structures, Mechanics of Materials, Materials of Construction.
Water Engineering Laboratories: Hydrology, Hydraulics, and Hydraulic Models.
Road and Transportation Engineering Laboratories: Pavement Properties
Soil and Foundation Engineering Laboratories: Soil Mechanics Laboratory
Earthquake Engineering Laboratories: Structural Dynamics Laboratory, including ambient and forced vibration testing devices for the evaluation and measurement of the dynamic characteristics of the existing structures, as well as an earthquake computer site.
Environmental Engineering Laboratories: Water and Waste Water Chemistry, Redundant Solid Materials, and Microbiology.
This faculty is expert in concrete engineering and has won national and international awards for its achievements in this field. These include first place in 2002 and 2003, second place in 2001 and third place in 2004 in the cement competitions of the American Concrete Institute(ACI). They have also been awarded third place in the bridge design and construction with Balsa wood competition in 2003. The students publish a scientific journal named "Abanegan آبانگان" dedicated to Water Engineering. The faculty has 28 full-time faculty members. It is located at Valiasr St., opposite the Eskan towers. Student accommodation, a recreational center and the universities bookshop is located on this campus.

“... there was the first Balkan war and the second Balkan war and then there was the first world war. It is extraordinary how having done a thing once you have to do it again, there is the pleasure of coincidence and there is the pleasure of repetition, and so there is the second world war, and in between there was the Abyssinian war and the Spanish civil war.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“Mining today is an affair of mathematics, of finance, of the latest in engineering skill. Cautious men behind polished desks in San Francisco figure out in advance the amount of metal to a cubic yard, the number of yards washed a day, the cost of each operation. They have no need of grubstakes.”
—Merle Colby, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
