Planned as a privately funded university and still awaiting the stabilization of the region for its launching, the University of Erbil comprises the faculties of Management, Engineering, Fine-arts, Agriculture, and Hospitality. The architectural concept is set regarding the unity of the campus, and the diversity of its multiple components. The Faculties, the academic, and the extra-academic functions, are bound together by a back-bone, organic in principle. It acts as an inner display axis that stretches along the different buildings linking the various spaces of the central core, common to all the university. The connected functions are: The Library, the Auditorium for conference and music, the exhibition spaces, and the Central Administration. The Library impacts the entrance of the campus as an identitarian landmark by its North wall that is completely glazed, shaded from the sun-rays and displaying the books as to invite the public to grasp culture.

The inner road, shaded and open by intermittent glazed roof is a welcoming promenade, serving the campus by socializing common areas. It links the various courts and faculties up to the sport facilities dominated by the large structure of the multipurpose indoor court. This urban configuration embodies the potential for future development of the university, preserving its unity, by stretching further and linking new faculties and facilities that could be added at a further stage. Some parts of the campus can also be accessed on certain days from the public, transforming the university into an interactive cultural center.
