THE AMERICAN UNIVERSITY IN CAIRO (AUC)-Wide-spread spaces in AUC new campus became more tired than beneficial and disabilities students suffer a lot.
The new campus is the gift the president David Arnold gave his students before leaving, but it didn’t get admired many of them.
“Yesterday, I went to the old campus and I felt much more comfortable,” says Omar Khedr, Business student last y ear in the university. “Here, it’s all about the image, but in the old campus they’re really trying to teach their students something”.
The old campus was very small and all classes are near each other except for the Falaki, said Mohamed Khalil, economics student. However, this campus is designed for the sack of student health care.
Specialists in AUC taking for EGYPT TODAY magazine, “the campus is orientated to take advantage of the prevailing north-easterly wind”. That was the aim of distant spaces and huge areas along the new campus compared with the historical one.
In addition to 27 fountains whose pools serve to cool the air and university gardens are the main sources for fresh air in this huge desert with 260-acre plot, EGYPT TODAY.
This is a good aim for the large distance between buildings, but these fountains were also the main cause of serious accidents. “I was walking beside the fountain and my leg misbalanced and I fall in the pool”, Mira Hassan Engineering student. “I got absence for a week as my leg gets broken”.
One accident of many we saw just due to getting proud of the new design of the new campus and the early transporting from the old.
