plan is <strong>LAU</strong>’s commitment to fostering excellence in all facets of university life, addressing<br />
student needs, providing involving settings, fostering inclusive learning environments,<br />

ABOUT ThE INSTITUTION<br />
History and Location<br />
Founded as a women’s college in 1924, the <strong>Lebanese</strong> <strong>American</strong> <strong>University</strong> is a not-for-profit private institution of<br />
higher education in Lebanon rooted in the tradition of exemplary education. Since it was granted absolute charter<br />
by the Board of Regents of the <strong>University</strong> of the State of New York in 1955 (the sole entity authorized by the State of<br />
New York to incorporate institutions of higher education and authorize them to confer degrees), the charter has been<br />
amended several times in response to the institution’s growth. The <strong>University</strong> currently boasts two campuses: its<br />
historic home in Beirut and a new campus in Blat, overlooking the historic city of Byblos. The two campuses together<br />
house seven schools. The emergence within the past two years of three new schools —the School of Medicine, the<br />
School of Nursing and the School of Architecture and Design — along with the transformation of the newly acquired<br />
<strong>University</strong> Medical Center – Rizk Hospital (UMC–RH) into a state-of-the art teaching and research facility, attest to the<br />
institution’s continued commitment to growth and excellence.<br />
accreditation<br />
<strong>LAU</strong> was accredited by the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education of the New England Association of Schools<br />
and Colleges (CIHE-NEASC) in November 2009.<br />

cHarter<br />
<strong>LAU</strong> is chartered by the Board of Regents of the <strong>University</strong> of the State of New York. The <strong>University</strong><br />
of the State of New York is the sole entity authorized by the State of New York to incorporate higher<br />
education institutions and authorize them to confer degrees.<br />
Beirut College for Women (which was to become <strong>LAU</strong>) was granted a provisional charter by the Board of<br />
Regents in 1950, and an absolute charter five years later. Since then, the charter has been amended<br />
several times in response to the institution’s growth.<br />
The <strong>University</strong> of the State of New York is a large system of educational services, including thousands<br />
of schools, colleges, universities, museums, libraries and other institutions. Its Board of Regents sets<br />
overall education policy for the State of New York and chooses a Commissioner of Education, who<br />
serves as president of the <strong>University</strong> of the State of New York and heads the New York State Education<br />
Department.<br />
accreditation<br />
Degrees awarded by the <strong>Lebanese</strong> <strong>American</strong> <strong>University</strong> are officially registered with the Ministry of<br />
Higher Education in Lebanon and with the Board of Education in the State of New York.<br />
institutionaL accreditation<br />
In 2007 <strong>LAU</strong> became a candidate for accreditation by the Commission on Institutions of Higher<br />
Education of the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (CIHE-NEASC). CIHE-NEASC is the<br />
oldest regional accrediting association in the U.S., developing and regularly reviewing standards for<br />
educational institutions of all levels in the U.S. and other countries.<br />
After a comprehensive evaluation visit by a CIHE-NEASC team in November 2009, <strong>LAU</strong> received full<br />
accreditation.<br />
<strong>LAU</strong> began the rigorous accreditation process in fall 2005, and has demonstrated at very stage its<br />
commitment to academic quality.

underground Parking (core and shell)<br />
A five-story, 19,000 square-meter underground parking facility is under construction on the Byblos Campus, and<br />
will include a bomb shelter on its lowest level as required by the <strong>Lebanese</strong> Law. The facility will eventually house<br />
around 625 cars, and is located at the center of the upper campus.<br />
medical school<br />
This project consists of constructing a 15,500 square-meter story building located at the center of the upper<br />
Byblos Campus. Construction of the Medical School building on the Byblos campus has begun. It houses modern<br />
academic simulation labs, research labs, multi-disciplinary research labs, a large anatomy lab, a 200-seat<br />
auditorium, smart classrooms, high-tech case method rooms, exam rooms, a medical library and reading lounges,<br />
open interactive space, a cyber cafe, and more. In short, the building boasts world-class facilities supported by<br />
a range of technologies in the classroom and beyond. It represents a new world of integrated learning. To date,<br />
the structure has reached the ground floor cover slab, and finishing activities have begun in the basement and<br />
mezzanine floors, including masonry construction, electro-mechanical first fix and plastering works.<br />

MAJOR PROJECTS UNDER DESIGN<br />
gibran Library<br />
The architectural firm Atelier Pagnamenta Torriani has submitted four alternate designs, two of which have been<br />
retained and developed.<br />
The first option is a single structure incorporating both library space and administrative offices. Its fluid, curvilinear<br />
shape would introduce a dynamic element to the campus’ exterior spaces, while creating a spectacular interior<br />
space around a central multi-use courtyard. The elliptical shape evokes Phoenician sea voyages from the shores<br />
of Lebanon to Europe.<br />
The second option consists of two separate buildings, providing distinct identities to both the library and the central<br />
administration area. The design’s fractal form reflects the excavated mountain of the construction site, and creates<br />
an interesting outdoor canyon-like space between the two structures.<br />
engineering Workshop & Labs<br />
The design of the Engineering Workshops and Labs building has reached an advanced stage of the concept phase.<br />
Several coordination meetings were held between architects from Khatib & Alami and the end-users in an effort to<br />
properly identify the exact needs and expectations of the various engineering departments involved.<br />

Beirut infrastructure<br />
Pierre Dammous and Partners were commissioned to study the existing power infrastructure in Beirut, and were<br />
asked to recommend needed upgrades.<br />
The design includes a new data center in the basement of the former Faculty Apartment Building; it will serve as an<br />
IT Center with dedicated uninterrupted power supplies. This center will constitute <strong>LAU</strong>’s largest data center.<br />
OFF CAMPUS LOCATIONS<br />

capital suites Building – off campus dorms<br />
This is an eight-story off-campus dorm building with a total area of 1919 square meters. In order to provide more<br />
comfortable living quarters to male students and faculty members, the <strong>LAU</strong> Beirut dormitories and apartments have<br />
been moved off campus. The new facility is conveniently located 10-minute’s walking distance from <strong>LAU</strong>, in a safe and<br />
secure area of Commodore Street. It accommodates residential units for male students and faculty members, including<br />
four faculty apartments, single rooms for 20 students, and 16 shared rooms to accommodate 21 students.<br />
four rented apartments<br />
Four apartments facing the lower gate of the Beirut campus were rented in Summer 2010 in response to growing<br />
demands for office space. These apartments are currently being re-designed to house the CEP and the IWSAW<br />
offices.<br />

CAMPUS MASTER PLAN<br />
The Campus Master Plan represents a physical translation of <strong>LAU</strong>’s mission to engage, prepare, and partner with<br />
our neighbors, national and international friends, and <strong>LAU</strong> students, faculty, and staff. The goal of the university is to<br />
guide future growth and development over the coming years, and to provide a physical campus framework embodying<br />
its mission. The Campus Master Plan is an ongoing plan that is continually reviewed to maintain alignment with <strong>LAU</strong>’s<br />
vision.<br />
