Plans
Kuwait University approved a plan for a new 10 year project. The project involves construction of a new University City that will provide a modern campus with state-of-the-art facilities for academic staff, students and other employees of Kuwait University. The Government of Kuwait has allocated 5.2 square kilometres of land in the Al Shadidiyah area for the project (not so far away from the Iraqi-Saudi border). The new campus will be co-educational with segregated facilities. It will include several faculties, dormitories, sports facilities and auditoriums as well as car parks for several thousand vehicles. There will also be a medical school and an associated 400-bed teaching hospital. The university city will be developed in stages over ten years and will eventually accommodate up to 40,000 students, permitting the consolidation of Kuwait University’s various existing campuses around the city. The campus will cost about $3 billion over ten years. The Master plan for the new university was carried out by a Canadian Consortium of Architects with the local SSHI design office. Currently, many design packages for the different colleges and administration buildings under design by top class international design firms. It is expected for the project to be completed by the academic year 2014-2015.

Famous quotes containing the word plans:
“A father ... knows exactly what those boys at the mall have in their depraved little minds because he once owned such a depraved little mind himself. In fact, if he thinks enough about the plans that he used to have for young girls, the father not only will support his wife in keeping their daughter home but he might even run over to the mall and have a few of those boys arrested.”
—Bill Cosby (20th century)
“Consider any individual at any period of his life, and you will always find him preoccupied with fresh plans to increase his comfort. Do not talk to him about the interests and rights of the human race; that little private business of his for the moment absorbs all his thoughts, and he hopes that public disturbances can be put off to some other time.”
—Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
