Designed for the way you learn.

Our Buildings

The University of New Haven – Riyadh is not a single walled campus.

Our initial facilities are woven into Misk City itself, across two locations. We have classrooms at the City Hub, Misk City's incubator hub and the core of their integrated learning ecosystem, and the main building of our College of Business and Digital Innovation.

Welcome to the College of Business and Digital Innovation

The College of Business and Digital Innovation building has been designed just for you. It has four floors of classrooms, laboratories, studios and common spaces, each one designed with experiential learning in mind. At New Haven, you do not just study theory; you test ideas, build things and work on real problems. The building is built to make that happen, so that the spaces you use every day actively support the way you are taught. And of course, all our classrooms, laboratories and common spaces are coeducational, just as at our other campuses.

Walk in and you will see student life across all three of our campuses, in Riyadh, West Haven and Prato, on the digital displays that line the entrance. From day one, you are part of something bigger than a single building.

Classrooms and laboratories

The building has 30 purpose-built learning spaces. That means classrooms with natural light, clear acoustics and flexible furniture you can rearrange for group work, presentations or discussion. It means science labs equipped to international standards for hands-on practical work. And it means specialist spaces you will not find in a typical university building: art studios, a maker space, an esports room and an AR/VR lab.

At New Haven, learning is experiential. You do not just study theory; you test it, build it and apply it. The campus has been designed to make that possible in every subject.

Where you study and unwind

University is more than lectures. On the ground floor, a large breakout area allows students to gather to work on group projects, or to sit and eat with friends. There is a lounge as well where you can meet your tutor for a catch-up session, or quickly check that your work is in order before class!

The first-floor student commons is a large, open space with work desks, sofas, communal tables and a games area. Come here to study with friends, read a book, or take a break between classes. The second-floor commons is quieter, with individual desks for when you need to focus. Between the two, there is somewhere to go whatever your mood.
