The school was established in 1924 and was called Birzeit School for Girls, and Ratibeh Shkair was the headmistress. (Despite the name of the school, however, boys were also admitted at the request of the community.)

1932 With the establishment of a boys’ school, the institution clearly had outgrown its original name, and so it was renamed Birzeit High School.

New roads for transport The ring road project, which connects villages north of Ramallah to the city center, will boost activity in the areas it passes through, especially its proximity to Birzeit University.

The rise of real estate With the emergence of many commercial centers such as Rawabi and Lacasa Mall as well as residential suburbs north of Ramallah, the center is expected to shift to the north.

SITE FEATURES A

Birzeit University sits on two hills approx. 780 m above sea level, this affected the planning and will affect future planning, the topography will give a hierarchy of functions and programms and will give inclusion and disclusion to the university campus.

Due to to campus laying on a hill, the planning of it is radial with the center (and aslo the highest point) being the presidency building to show control. Campus streets are along contour lines to provide easy sloped routes for students and vehicles.

Topography

Existing Campus Development

University Town A college town or university town is a community (often a separate town or city, but in some cases a town/city neighborhood or a district) that is dominated by its university population. The university may be large, or there may be several smaller institutions or the residential population may be small, but college towns in all cases are so dubbed because the presence of the educational institution(s) pervades economic and social life.

Campus Expansion

Besides a highly educated and largely transient population, a stereotypical college town often has many people in non-traditional lifestyles and subcultures and with a high tolerance for unconventionality in general, and has a very active musical or cultural scene. The majority of the population is usually politically liberal. Many have become centres of technological research and innovative startups.

Why? - Revitalize the campus and give it vitality. - Developing the relationship with the private sector. - Follow up the growth and development of the university. - Mobile student service.

GUILDE LINES & STRATEGIES

Make Connections: And that by linking the students and the university campus on the one hand, and the university with its surroundings on the other hand.

BZU PROPOSED MASTERPLAN ANALYSIS SPORTS ZONE

- Off academic core - Fairly smooth terrain - No planning and only accessable from campus

CONTEXT

- No conserning for context and fabric

MEDICAL ZONE

- Located near an entrance/exit away from academic core - Covers the university’s and surrounding need for a medical sector

NORTH PARKING

- Accessable for north gate users - Elimantes random parking and empties the road from vehicles - Not constructed on levels and so occupying a lot of space

RINGROAD

- Accomidates campus expansion - Connects to all parts of the campus - Accessable for private staff cars only

EXISTING CAMPUS

- No visible development on current campus

GREENERY

- Scenery of BZU’s facade

STUDENTS PARKING

- Huge parking area focused at one side only +HDW LVODQG WUDIÀF FRQJHVWLRQV

Shortcuts Pedestrians in the campus take shortcuts between roads as they are less dense and can get them from one point to the other faster. Shortcuts are a very important element in the campus.

Landscaped Gardens Landscaped shortcuts add a layer of greenery on top of circulation layer. Landscaped shortcuts also make green open spaces used also as recreational areas.

Stairs Stairs provide a very quick shortcut between two points. It is commonly used in BZU’s campus as there’s an elevation difference between roads.

Between Buildings It must be ensured to make a connection not only to buildings but the spaces around them as they can provide fast and easy access between two points.
