The executive report presented by the General Administration of Operations and Maintenance outlined the scope of work completed across different sectors, ranging from the operation and maintenance of air conditioning, cooling systems, and air handling units, to the rehabilitation of water pumps and tanks, and the upgrading and precise testing of fire-fighting and early-warning systems in compliance with national and international standards.

It is noteworthy that teams also carried out renovation and routine maintenance of buildings and lecture halls, transferred and prepared furniture and laboratories, and rehabilitated ceilings, doors, and curtains. Collectively, these efforts helped establish a motivating academic and research environment worthy of the university’s students.

The achievements extended beyond the main campus to the branches in Qurayyat and Tabarjal, where most air conditioning units and elevators were repaired and serviced. Readiness levels in some colleges and complexes reached 100%, reflecting the university’s strong commitment to preparing a fully integrated learning environment.
