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:
“What a perpetual disappointment is actual society, even of the virtuous and gifted! After interviews have been compassed with long foresight, we must be tormented presently by baffled blows, by sudden, unseasonable apathies, by epilepsies of wit and of animal spirits, in the heyday of friendship and thought. Our faculties do not play us true, and both parties are relieved by solitude.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Is boredom anything less than the sense of one’s faculties slowly dying?”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
“You may read any quantity of books, and you may almost as ignorant as you were at starting, if you don’t have, at the back of your minds, the change for words in definite images which can only be acquired through the operation of your observing faculties on the phenomena of nature.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
