Basic Data on Infrastructure and Spaces at the College of Science
The open area at the College of Science is approximately 13,700 square meters, while the total built-up area is about 9,100 square meters. Accordingly, the ratio of open areas to the total area (13,700 ÷ (13,700 + 9,100)) is around 60%, reflecting the availability of adequate outdoor spaces for academic and student activities.   The green areas of the college cover about 10,600 square meters, compared to the total built-up area of 9,100 square meters. The ratio of green areas to the total area is approximately 53.5%. This demonstrates the college’s commitment to providing a sustainable and healthy campus environment that enhances natural beauty and contributes to improving air quality and reducing heat emissions within the campus.
The College of Science is also keen on preserving plants, animals, wildlife, and genetic resources of significance to food and agricultural security. In this regard, the college has established a Natural History Museum that includes various species of animals and living organisms from the Iraqi environment, including rare and endangered species. The museum aims to document local biodiversity, raise environmental awareness among students, and support scientific research in the fields of ecology, biodiversity, and sustainability.
Regarding safety and security facilities, the College of Science places great emphasis on this vital aspect. The college is equipped with an early warning system for fire detection, along with portable fire extinguishers and a centralized firefighting system covering most buildings and laboratories. In addition, the college has emergency stairways and guiding and warning signs placed strategically to ensure quick evacuation and safety during emergencies.
As for health and service infrastructure, the college includes around 10 sanitary complexes distributed among students, faculty members, and administrative staff, ensuring a clean and healthy environment for all college occupants.
Finally, the total open area within the college complex is approximately 11,000 square meters, while the number of employees in the college is about 3,700, including faculty, administrators, and service workers. Based on these figures, the ratio of total area to the number of employees is approximately 2.97 square meters per person, indicating a suitable spatial distribution that supports a comfortable and organized working environment within the campus
