Being built in the Saudi city of Thuwal, the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) is designed by HOK architects and Saudi Aramco. The KAUST covering 9,000 acres area to accommodate 20,000 people once complete.
Aiming at creating a luxurious academic venue rather than the stuffy old world approach, there will even be a golf course, beach club, sports centre (although notably only the men will get an outdoor swimming pool) and land set aside for residential development that will eventually turn the university into a fully functioning town.
