ISLAMABAD
\nIn a significant gesture coinciding with the celebrations of Saudi National Day, the Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) has extended a Rs.150 million developmental grant to the International Islamic University Islamabad (IIUI) for the modernisation of its academic infrastructure.
\nThe grant marks a major step in the University\u2019s ongoing efforts, spearheaded by the President of IIUI, to improve academic and student facilities and transform IIUI into a modern, technology-enabled institution equipped to meet contemporary teaching, learning and research requirements, said a press release on Tuesday.
\nUnder the first phase of the initiative, the Saudi grant will support the upgrading of classrooms, computer laboratories, information technology systems and allied academic facilities across the University.
\nThe intervention addresses a longstanding need for modern teaching spaces and technological infrastructure capable of supporting evolving pedagogical and research demands.
\nA key component of the project is the establishment of a dedicated smart classroom in each faculty, equipped with an interactive smart board, digital podium and dedicated Wi-Fi connectivity, with capacity for up to 30 students.
\nFive computer laboratories will also be established, providing 55 workstations and a total of 220 computer systems, including desktops, VDI systems and laptops.
\nThe facilities will be complemented by CCTV systems, furniture, curtains and other essential equipment and interior improvements.
\nThe grant is expected to substantially strengthen the teaching and learning environment at IIUI by giving students and faculty greater access to modern digital resources, improved laboratories and more effective technology-supported classrooms.
\nThe improvements are also expected to enhance the University\u2019s academic profile and its attractiveness to prospective students.
\nThe initiative forms part of a broader improvement drive personally pursued by the Acting Rector\/President of IIUI, Prof. Dr Ahmed Saad Alahmed, over the past year, with particular emphasis on student welfare and the quality of facilities available to the University community.=DNA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
