The facility was designed by renowned architect Ricardo Legorreta of Mexico City.
Education City includes facilities such as a recreation center which houses a branch of Qatar National Bank, a Laundry Service, a post office outpost, Aramex, a photo printing area, a travel agency as well as other recreational facilities such as an indoor pool, Jacuzzi, indoor basketball court, squash court and many others.
