About
THE PROJECT
Through the use of expressive elements, materials and details that are blended within the culture of the place, Jordan University of Science and Technology Central Library was part of the first phase of the master plan for the University’s vital social spine, with its architectural building design that serves as a hub for knowledge containing bibliographic, audio and visual materials, in addition to electronic information all under one roof.
Equipped with up-to-date facilities that are able to meet future demands, the library can hold 300,000 stacks of volumes and 2,500 seats, in addition to lecture and exhibition halls along with seminar rooms that are built in a separate but integral building, forming two quadrants of the central forum.
