The campus had been designed by Pakistan\u2019s top architect, Mr. Nayyar Ali Dada and the world-class infrastructure will contain technologically equipped classrooms, computer laboratories, and research and development (R&amp;D) facilities. Iqra University\u2019s new campus will also offer residence to both the foreign faculty members and the students, creating the ideal environment for learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What\u2019s truly unique about this campus is that it will contain a medical and nursing school on its premises as well, with well-equipped laboratories that can help teach the practical application of various disciplines in the field of medical and health sciences. The facilities will be at par with the standards set by the Ministry of Higher Education and the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC) to ensure that the students are exposed to the latest equipment during their studies. Iqra University\u2019s medical and nursing school will feature a patient-centric curriculum, elective modules, as well as an early exposure to a clinical and hospital environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The IU campus in Bahria Town, Karachi, is being built right next to the Grand Jamia Mosque, over 200 acres, to accommodate around 800,000 individuals. This places the university within Precinct 12, at a 10 minutes\u2019 drive from the main gate of the society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Educational Developments at Bahria Town, Karachi<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/21-20-D-2-1024x658.jpg\" alt=\"Roots Millennium School, Bahria Town Karachi\" class=\"wp-image-79356\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/21-20-D-2-1024x658.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/21-20-D-2-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/21-20-D-2-768x494.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/21-20-D-2-622x400.jpg 622w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/21-20-D-2.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Get International Standard of Education at Roots Millennium School<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Bahria Town is keen on offering good quality of education to its residents and this is the fourth major educational campus to be launched officially in Bahria Town, Karachi.
