Soran University Faculty of Science and Science Labs
Soran / Iraq , 2015

Soran University Faculty of Science and Science Labs is located on the coastal slope of the University campus. The same stone material used throughout the entire campus was maintained in the laboratory buildings proposed as two masses which were articulated together and the façade movement of the buildings was provided with wooden panels.

The laboratory building, which allows the transition from the lower level, is designed by blending the building with landscape elements so that the students feel themselves belonging to the campus and spend more time.

Soran University has appointed Austria-based Chalabi Architects & Partners to make a new campus master plan in a difficult topography and in an area with a dramatic horizon and landscape in almost all directions, by the slope of a very deep canyon. With a total closed construction area of 600.000m2 revealed as a result of the needs program made during the design process by the university, the buildings are projected by the cooperation between 4M Salalı Architects and rggA in accordance with the principles adopted at the stage of master plan. Currently, construction of campus roads and infrastructure works are started.
