          File includes 604 drawings, 33 presentation boards, 150 photographs, and 1 model of the entrance gate. The Islamic University of Madinah is distinguished both by its religious location and by the fact that it represents a centre for the collection, preservation, and dissemination of Islamic heritage. It is situated at the Al-Madinah Al-Munawarah, an oasis town surrounded by the desert and the rocky mountains. The valleys are the source of its water supply. The 120 hectare site also incorporates existing buildings. The university campus is characterized by the integration of teaching and living spaces organized around a hierarchy of courts. The Mosque and Faculties occupy the centre of the campus. Low buildings, not exceeding four storeys, maintain a human scale. The main gate faces the City of Madinah and the axes of the buildings are aligned to acknowledge the religiously significant Qibla in Makkah. The prominent arrival court is landscaped with water fountains and gardens as a forecourt to the main Mosque. The residential buildings are clustered, as are the Faculty buildings, housing about 2 000 students in nine-person dwelling units. Covered pedestrian walkways link the facilities beyond the campus core, such as the sports facilities, faculty housing, and commercial districts. The architectural style is based on Islamic forms: simple massing, grouping buildings around courtyards, and orientation of individual components within buildings towards courtyards, which are a source of natural light, air, and visual relief. Courtyards, arcades around courtyards, and gateways to individual buildings are the repetitive elements found throughout the campus.

          CA CAC 57-1-9.0 · File · [1980]
          Part of Arthur Erickson fonds

          File contains 17 drawings (8 plans, 9 exterior perspectives) and 381 photographs (368 slides [173 of drawings, 114 of model, 81 miscellaneous] 13 prints of model). The King Abdulaziz University interspersed academic facilities with residential compounds in a layout respecting traditional settlement patterns. The men's campus is separate from the women's campus on a 260 hectare site. The site is undeveloped and is a continuation of the Jeddah Coastal Plain, 6 km east of Jeddah's downtown core. The University locale is separated from the city's core by an existing airport and an existing residential area to the east. The university was designed to accommodate 17,000 students, 2,000 faculty, and 5,800 support staff. In addition to the academic facilities, the university has a mosque, a museum, an aquarium, an auditorium, and botanical gardens as cultural amenities to enrich the city. A central open space spine connects the east and the west sides of the entrance area through a linear system of landscaped and building-enclosed courtyards.
