The Construction and Projects Department completed the connection of the box power station (Kiosik) located behind the Applied Sciences building on the university campus. This work was carried out with high professionalism and precise organization, as the team coordinated efforts and resources effectively to ensure the successful completion of the task. The process began with thoroughly examining the technical equipment and electrical systems associated with the station, ensuring their safety and effectiveness.

Modern techniques and advanced technology equipment were employed to guarantee the connection quality and stability of the electrical system. Necessary measures were taken to ensure the safety of the work and workers during the execution of the project. After passing all necessary tests and inspections, the final steps were taken, successfully connecting the station to the main power grid. Additionally, systems were tested post-connection to ensure reliable performance and stability in electricity distribution.

This accomplishment is expected to:

• Contribute to improving the stability of electricity and reducing the chances of unexpected outages.
• Enhance the university's infrastructure, increasing its ability to conduct scientific research and experiments in a stable environment.
• Positively impact academic and educational performance at the university by providing stable power supplies.

This step marks a significant achievement for the Construction and Projects Department, reflecting the university's commitment to developing infrastructure and improving services for students and staff. We look forward to more successful projects in the future to further enhance the university's progress in the field of infrastructure development.

The Department of Construction and Projects has undertaken comprehensive rehabilitation work in the Materials Engineering Department. The efforts focused on rehabilitating the department head's bathroom, kitchen, and council of Materials Engineering Department bathroom, in addition to the male and female bathrooms. This work involved several steps, and the executed tasks are detailed as follows:

Work Completed in Male and Female Bathrooms and Department Council Bathroom:

• Remove the heater and old ceramic tiles from the walls.
• Remove old tiles from the floors, eastern seats, and sinks.
• Installation of a new hot-water and cold-water network.
• Removal of the old drainage system and installation of a new drainage network.
• Installation of the new ceramics Wall tiling.
• Installation of floor tiles.
• Installation of western and eastern toilet seats with all accessories.
• Installation of a floor drain.
