Sharjah authorities said work is set to start soon on the buildings of the fourth wing of the  student dormitories at Al Qasimia University (AQU) in the northern emirate, said a report.

 

HH Dr Sheikh Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, and President of Al Qasimia University (AQU) today inspected the proposed models for the buildings of the fourth wing of the University student dormitories, and the plans for the sports activities affiliated to it, reported Wam.

 

He toured the buildings, accompanied by Ali bin Shaheen Al Suwaidi, Chairman of Sharjah Directorate of Public Works (SDPW) and several engineers in charge of the project.

 

The Sharjah Ruler directed the creation of internal divisions of rooms and corridors, in which one room can accommodate only two students, to ensure privacy. 

 

This complies with the prevention and safety measures in place because of the Covid-19 pandemic, along with the highest level of comfort for students, stated the report.

 

Al Suwaidi later briefed the ruler on plans for recreational, sports and service facilities for students, including football, volleyball and basketball fields, walking and running tracks, and open spaces for practising various other physical sports, it added.
