Campus expansion
[edit]In 2008, Queensland-based Noel Robinson Architects (NRA) were appointed to design the new 120 million Australian dollars Sohar University campus. Buildings include a new library; sporting facilities; multi-purpose lecture theatres; graduation hall; faculty buildings for engineering, business, health sciences, social sciences and humanities, administration, and student services; and post-graduate residences. NRA has collaborated with the University of Queensland during the design of the campus buildings.[9]
