Environmental Feasibility

There are no sources of pollutants on campus, and a dedicated storage facility has been designed in accordance with technical specifications for the storage of chemicals. Plans have been made to adopt the United Nations Millennium Development Goals and to utilize various renewable energy technologies, such as solar energy (to reduce reliance on electric generators or direct energy sources) and others, in addition to implementing all measures that lead to energy conservation, such as double-pane windows and thermal insulation, to reduce emissions directly or indirectly, as well as the use of solar panels to generate electricity.

Economic Feasibility

The university seeks to uphold authentic community values and create a rigorous educational environment that attracts middle school graduates. It also provides employment opportunities for more than 240 staff members, including both faculty and support staff, thereby contributing to job creation for a large number of young people and professors.
