“Ashghal completed the works in co-operation with the Community College of Qatar,” al-Emadi said. “This helps increase the student capacity and provide distinguished educational services.”
He noted that the female campus of the CCQ is to be completed by the end of 2021.
Al-Emadi said that the design of the campus provides educational, environmental, recreational and athletic amenities for students.
The ground floor includes a library, amenity lounges and rooms, a student hall, a lecture hall, and a book store.
The first floor has eight teaching halls, two meeting rooms, two IT laboratories, one control room, the main administration office, seven administration offices, eight college staff offices, and service rooms.
The remaining two floors include services such as electricity rooms, four service elevators, in addition to 138 parking spaces.

“The implementation of this project took about 1.2mn working hours without any injuries. Ashghal applies all safety measures in regards to workers on this project,” he said.
Al-Athba explained that Ashghal’s Quality and Safety Department has also implemented a new work mechanism to monitor quality, safety and environment.
Specialists followed up the project for six months, which resulted in a simulation of implementing a new work mechanism for all building projects in Ashghal, and the subsequent comprehensive audit of the quality of the implementation and materials used, while taking into consideration the protection of the environment and the safety of workers.
