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:
“There are many faculties in man, each of which takes its turn of activity, and that faculty which is paramount in any period and exerts itself through the strongest nation, determines the civility of that age: and each age thinks its own the perfection of reason.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Once conform, once do what other people do because they do it, and a lethargy steals over all the finer nerves and faculties of the soul. She becomes all outer show and inward emptiness; dull, callous, and indifferent.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“I am grown old and my memory is not as active as it used to be. When I was younger I could remember anything, whether it had happened or not; but my faculties are decaying now, and soon I shall be so I cannot remember any but the things that never happened. It is sad to go to pieces like this, but we all have to do it.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
