MxM team members collaborated with an internationally distributed design team on this new 800 hectare campus located north of Riyadh in Saudi Arabia. The campus hosts an estimated 40,000 students across 13 new colleges including: nursing, pharmacology, naturopathy, administrative sciences, computer science & technology, nursery training, languages and translation. The overall design respects the traditional principles of Islamic garden design and adapts them into a contemporary framework that focuses on sustainability and the pedestrian quality of the outdoor space. From conceptual design through full design development, MxM team members focused on the integration of landscape within and around student housing, creating a cohesive experience of outdoor spaces.
