New London Architecture
Cyprus International University Campus Masterplan
Under Construction
Arup has worked with Cyprus International University since 2017 to design a vision, masterplan and advise on implementation for its new campus, which explores new ways of learning beyond the classroom
Cyprus International University has ambitious plans
to increase its students from 17,000 to 24,000 by
2022. Arup has worked with the client since 2017, first
developing a vision, then designing a masterplan and
advising on its implementation.
Drawing upon the expertise of our Urban Design,
Landscape Architecture, City Economics and Digital
Studio teams in London, the masterplan explores new
ways of learning beyond the classroom. The initial
brief included a series of new buildings to home a
range of faculties, however after conducting analysis
of the campus operations, the research revealed the
need to consider the University activities in clusters
rather than in isolation. In response, Arup proposed
the inclusion of new amenities, open spaces, as well
as retrofitting existing infrastructure to help unlock
new synergies within the campus.
The masterplan is focused on the quality of the
student experience. By looking at learning beyond
the formal walls of the classroom, we identified the
enviable Mediterranean campus landscape is an
asset in providing a unique opportunity for informal
learning. In doing so, this will prepare the University
for growth and shape the vision for the future physical
development of the campus. Arup’s Digital Studio
team in London supported in the development of lighttouch
interventions including pop-up podiums, study
nooks, student run shops and a live feed wall, with
students always at the centre of the design process.
The sustainable systems devised for water, energy and
waste management implemented by the University
will position it as an exemplar model for both clean
energy and circular economy while enabling students
to engage in sustainability initiatives. Arup carried
out an in-depth assessment of these systems and
proposed guidelines and initiatives to ensure a
continued sustainable future for the University.
