As part of its efforts to modernize the maintenance methods and rehabilitation of the university's buildings, the Department of Construction and Projects invited Al-Omran Group for General Contracting, one of the agents of Berger International Paints, to come to the university to showcase their modern technologies. The call included implementing two applied models of the latest methods used in rehabilitating old buildings.

• The first model works on rehabilitating old floors, where a practical model was implemented that shows how to rehabilitate old floors using advanced modern materials, where the materials displayed their capabilities in improving floors and increasing their resistance to friction and corrosion.
• The second model works on treating the facades of old buildings, where the materials were tested and their capabilities were shown to show the facades decently and appropriately reflect the aesthetic identity of the buildings.

The implementation of the two models witnessed the presence of the Assistant President for Administrative Affairs, Prof. Dr. Farhad, and the Director of the Construction and Projects Department, Dr. Oday, as well as the participation of a group of engineers from the Construction and Projects Department in following up the implementation of these models, where the effectiveness of the materials and techniques used and their wider applicability within the university were evaluated.

The use of modern technologies in the maintenance and rehabilitation of university buildings reflects the commitment of the Department of Construction and Projects to provide the best solutions to ensure the sustainability and improvement of infrastructure. Through collaboration with companies specialized in this field, the department seeks to adopt best practices and technologies that meet the needs of the university and support its future vision.

A meeting was held under the chairmanship of the Assistant President for Administrative Affairs, Prof. Dr. Farhad, with the Director of the Department of Construction and Projects, Dr. Oday Al-Muharram, and members of the committee for preparing the estimative statements for the establishment of flood basins at the university. The meeting was also attended by the respected structural consultant, Prof. Ghassan Wameedh, the consultant for electrical works, Dr. Kanaan Ali, and a member of the university's aesthetic committee, Dr. Venus Suleiman.

Objectives of the Meeting:
• Review the engineering designs for the flood basins.
• Ensure that the designs meet the requirements of the Civil Defense Directorate.
• Discuss the bill of quantities and the materials required for project execution.
• Ensure the availability of necessary materials and equipment to carry out the work according to technical specifications.
• Enhance collaboration between consultants in structural, electrical, and aesthetic fields to ensure the project is executed in an integrated manner.
• Ensure that all specializations contribute to achieving a comprehensive design that meets the university's needs.

This meeting reflects the university’s commitment to improving its infrastructure and enhancing safety within the campus. Through collaboration between senior management and specialized consultants, strong foundations are being laid for the construction of flood basins, aligning with the highest technical standards and safety requirements. We look forward to the commencement of this project and the realization of its intended benefits, contributing to a safer and more efficient university environment.

A progress check on the rehabilitation of the garden located between the University Theater and the Central Library was conducted, and attended by Dr. Venus Suleiman, a member of the University Beautification Committee, along with engineers from the Construction and Projects Department. The ongoing supervision of the garden's rehabilitation reflects the university's commitment to improving infrastructure and providing green spaces that meet the needs of the academic community. Through the collaborative efforts of the University Beautification Committee and the engineers from the Construction and Projects Department, we look forward to completing this project, enhancing the campus's appeal, and providing a distinguished educational environment.

The construction of the fountain located at the entrance of the University Presidency has begun, with the presence of the Assistant President for Administrative Affairs, Dr. Farhad, and a member of the University's Aesthetic Committee, Dr. Venus Suleiman, along with the engineers from the Construction and Projects Department. This project aims to enhance the aesthetic appeal of the university entrance, contributing to an improved surrounding environment and creating a positive impression for visitors and staff.

Project Objectives
   • Create a fountain that adds a beautiful and cultural touch to the entrance of the University Presidency.
   • Improve the overall appearance of the entrance, contributing to a welcoming environment for visitors and staff.
   • Enhance the environmental coordination around the entrance through an integrated architectural design and layout.

The commencement of the construction was attended by the Assistant President for Administrative Affairs, Dr. Farhad, reflecting the importance of the project and the senior management's commitment to developing the university environment. The presence of Dr. Venus Suleiman, a member of the University's Aesthetic Committee, ensures that the design and execution align with the university's approved aesthetic standards.
The engineers from the Construction and Projects Department are supervising the project to ensure compliance with the designs and engineering standards, as well as to maintain the project's timeline and achieve the required quality.
The initiation of the fountain construction at the University Presidency entrance marks a significant step toward enhancing the university environment and improving the aesthetic quality of the area. We look forward to completing this project and achieving the desired positive impact on the university's appearance and environment.
