The 21st Century Campus: King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), Saudi Arabia

The 21st Century Campus Series NYU Abu Dhabi joins a small number of complete universities developed in the 21st century. The series will highlight both campus design and the ideas about education these plans embody. We are interested in the communal ideals the campuses stand for, the challenges associated with community building in the 21st century, and the intercultural agenda universities are forging with their host cities and regions.
