Ahsanullah University of Science and Technology, Ashulia campus, Ashulia Model Town, Savar

Abstract

The rapid expansion of higher education in Bangladesh has created a need for modern, accessible, quality and sustainable university campuses. To meet this demand, Dhaka Ahsania Mission established a private university called Ahsanullah University of Science and Technology (AUST) in 1995. However, its current Tejgaon campus faces several challenges. It's too crowded, there is no space to expand, and some of the facilities and programs are obsolete. To solve these issues, AUST is going to set up a new campus in Ashulia Model Town, Savar. The new campus will be advantageous to students as it will allow them to learn more, interact more with industry, and be more sustainable in the years to come. The new campus will be 13.10 acres in size including new academic programs, advanced labs, student housing, and eco-friendly features. The goal is to create a better learning environment, encourage industry connections, promote sustainability, and help the local economy. The design uses site studies, local and international examples, and existing regulatory guidelines.
