About M. Almana College of Health Sciences Auditorioa

Diseinuak ikasleak erakartzea du helburu, jarrera tradizionala zein modernoa eskainiz, ikasleen campuseko partaidetza eta arrakasta lortzeko etengabeko nahia indartzeko. Materialen paleta osoa inguru historikora egokitzeko aukeratu zen, Erreinuaren ondare historikoan, Arabiako basamortuan eta haizearen edertasuna eta mugimendu dinamikoa adierazten duten hareazko dunetan inspiratuta. Machs-eko bisitariei atondo handi batek ongietorria ematen die kupula enblematiko batekin eta kimikoz eta sendagaien ikurrez betetako arte medikoko horma zientziaren hizkuntza askotan, ikasleen parte izateko espazio interaktiboak sortzeko' oroitzapenak.
