Lebanese University Eddé-Jbeil
Campus on a hill

Project description

Perched on a green hill overlooking the historical port of Byblos, and surrounded by a vast expense of vegetation, the Eddé-Jbeil campus will allow around 3900 students to enroll in the Faculty of Law and Political Sciences, the Faculty of Literature and Human Sciences and the Institute of Sociology.

The campus is built on terraces, with its upper section housing the faculties’ buildings, the sports complex, car park, and technical support. The central administration, cafeteria and library, in the mid-section, are reached through a pedestrian landscaped spine, while the lower section accommodates the lodging facilities and an open air amphitheater.
