Umma University
Umma University is a student-centered University that provides quality services in order to produce holistic graduates. We had to come up with an environmentally-conscious master plan for a modern day university campus in Kajiado County. The phased plan included buildings housing the various faculties, student affairs and accommodation, administrative services, library, laboratories, sports facilities, staff accommodation and ultimately a teaching and referral hospital. The planning took advantage of the vast spaces available by creating numerous functional courtyards for enrichment of the student experience.
The design of the project aimed to achieve an important role as an icon for Umma University. The master plan is symmetrical creating an axis meant to amplify the connection between religion, knowledge, ceremony and art.
By merging modular geometry, optimized circulation and a boldly optimistic design approach, our team was able to breathe new life to the site and its immediate surroundings..
