Aga Khan University Centre

The Aga Khan University Centre is a landmark vertical campus redefining medical education in East Africa. Designed to foster innovation and collaboration, the facility integrates modern classrooms, simulation labs, and faculty spaces within a compact 0.75-hectare site.

Thoughtfully planned courtyards and informal gathering areas enhance the user experience, blending academic function with a human-centered approach. The project also champions sustainability, achieving EDGE Advanced certification with significant reductions in energy (41%), water (22%), and embodied carbon (28%).

The COMFORT M9400 hinged system was used, offering a wide range of typologies that supported the architectural vision and long-term performance. With reliable air and water tightness, sound insulation up to 36 dB, and strong wind resistance, it proves ideal for the demands of a modern academic facility.
