Doha, Qatar
Texas A&M University celebrated the opening of the QR520mn Engineering Research Building in Doha, Qatar, in March 2007. Located in the Qatar Foundation’s Education City, the facility is designed to be the most technologically advanced engineering research and education facility in the world. Designed by architects Ricardo Legorreta and Victor Legorreta, the complex consists of a four-story academic quadrangle connected to a three-story research building via an open multi-story atrium. The project is sited on five acres and includes a lecture hall, classrooms, computer labs, and a visualization facility utilizing immersion capabilities for the creation of three-dimensional simulations.
