To meet its objectives of excellence, it is imperative for SMU to create a vibrant learning environment that both reflects and sustains its mission and meets the highest international standards. Rigorous academic planning and extensive consultations with stakeholders and industry partners has SMU building a new campus in Les Berges Du Lac, Tunis’ highly accessible new downtown area which will house MEDITECH. This new building is four times larger than SMU’s current facility and is expected to be fully operational by January 2010.

The new downtown building will integrate the most up-to-date Information and Communication Technologies for the organization of its programs including top-notch facilities in its computer and science laboratories, audio visual and distance learning equipment and video conferencing. Furthermore, for efficient management of the facility, the building will have top-of-the-line amenities such as access control, security and surveillance equipment and electronic bulletin boards. We envision our downtown campus to be a showcase for the limitless possibilities offered by ICT in teaching, communication, management and infrastructure.
