China State Construction Engineering Corporation (CSCEC) said its Middle East unit has won a $580 million management facility deal for a giant education city project - Sabah Al Salem University City - in Kuwait.

Under the contract awarded by Kuwait government, the Chinese engineering firm will be responsible for the construction and operation and maintenance of the administration facilities at the upcoming project at Kuwait University.

The Sabah Al Salem University City is being master planned as one of the largest campuses in the world with world class educational facilities equipped with most advanced teaching and learning resources.

The project consists of seven unique-shaped buildings which will house the administration wing, cultural centre, convocation hall, conference centre, university library and visitor centre besides a grand mosque.

The administration facilities, creatively designed and functionally served as the main gateway to the university city, are characterised by light lacy screens enveloping that resulted into a very harmonious interactive dramatic effect between the light and shadow.

In addition, the flexible perimeter will further explore & expand the space of each facility outward and create a pleasant and tranquil gardenesque living and studying environment.

It is the second package of major building tenders secured by CSCEC's Middle East unit.-TradeArabia News Service
