HOUSING DESCRIPTION

Student housing in Qatar Foundation's residence halls is currently shared accommodation in 1, two and 3 bedroom apartments, located within the heart of campus. Two students share each bedroom, and every apartment has its own bathroom and kitchen. Every floor in a residence hall has a common laundry area and each building has on-site security 24 hours a day. Students have Wi-Fi internet access in the residence halls and most halls have a student social room, open 24 hours a day, which has computers and printers available for student use with Ethernet access.

Private units will be available for single student occupancy when new residence halls are opened in 2011. These units will have private bathrooms for each student in a single gender environment. Each residence hall floor will have multiple kitchens and laundry rooms with lounges for study and activity space. Apartments to be built on the site will consist of studio, one and two bedroom apartments with each student having their own private bedroom.

Each single gender complex will have outside activity space and a convenience store for sundries. A mixed gender Residential Community Center will feature a coffee shop, dining services, Residence Life Office Space and a Community Learning Centre. This will enable students to work on projects, presentations and academic work in a mixed gender environment.

The new construction will use both state of the art building principles and design to offer Education City students an extraordinary living and learning environment, intended to support their academic careers. To learn more about the new residential halls. Click Here.
