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.

Famous quotes containing the words faculty of, faculty, civil and/or engineering:
“The spider-mind acquires a faculty of memory, and, with it, a singular skill of analysis and synthesis, taking apart and putting together in different relations the meshes of its trap. Man had in the beginning no power of analysis or synthesis approaching that of the spider, or even of the honey-bee; but he had acute sensibility to the higher forces.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“Reason is man’s faculty for grasping the world by thought, in contradiction to intelligence, which is man’s ability to manipulate the world with the help of thought. Reason is man’s instrument for arriving at the truth, intelligence is man’s instrument for manipulating the world more successfully; the former is essentially human, the latter belongs to the animal part of man.”
—Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
“The Count is neither sad, nor sick, nor merry, nor well; but civil count, civil as an orange, and something of that jealous complexion.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“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)
