At the very center of the core there will be a central square or plaza and from here pedestrian pathways radiates to the various university buildings located around the central core. There are 6 main buildings i.e. School of Applied Science, School of IT, Lecture Theatres, School of Business Studies and the School of Core Subjects. These building are placed around and facing the circular shape core. Other buildings such as Male and Female Hostels, Dining Halls, Student Union and The Albukhary Foundation building are located in an area behind the university buildings.
