About Campus 2026
Since the early development plans for the New Cairo campus, the University anticipated additional buildings. In 2020, through a process of community consultations, AUC developed an updated master plan that identified several new projects. Today, AUC's campus development project, Campus 2026, provides a revitalized vision for the future of AUC New Cairo in support of the University's strategic priorities. The three new projects will enhance the student experience by incorporating state-of-the-art technology, fully accessible facilities and sustainable structures that contribute positively to climate change goals. Connecting students to the real-world, providing an ecosystem for innovation and serving the future of work, the buildings embody a bold vision for the future of AUC.
As part of its Campus 2026 expansion, AUC is developing a new generation of green-certified buildings designed to achieve LEED Silver certification. These include the NextGen Student and Learning Living Spaces, the Technology, Research and Innovation Lab, and the Extended Education Hub—all built to enhance academic life while minimizing environmental impact. The buildings will feature energy-efficient systems, water-saving technologies, sustainable materials, and climate-responsive design, setting new benchmarks for campus sustainability. Through this expansion, AUC aims to reinforce its position as a regional pioneer in green, future-ready, and transformative university development.
