OMDURMAN WADI SAYDNA ROAD N N Morphological Analysis
8.1 Land use Organization: The campus has the characteristics of both zoned and mixed campus. The teaching blocks, lecture theaters, library, and administration are centered in the middle of the campus while one of the lecture theaters is in adjacency to another facilities in the south of the campus In addition, the students’ hostels are located at the eastern part of the campus The southwestern part of the campus contains the staff houses Facilities such as the clinic, kindergarten, students’ club, and the schools are in the south of the campus. Moreover, stores, workshops, buffets, and toilets are dispersed around the campus

The repositioning of the on campus living (staff houses and students' hostels) can play a role of a magnet which can contribute positively in enhancing the walkability an the sense of community on the campus 8
Campus Housing Map Scale 1:3000 8.5 Campus Living: The livable campus is an appropriate description for the campus due to the on campus living which includes staff houses and students hostels.
The campus is considered as an isolated campus which has no any connectivity with the street network of the surrounding area. The campus is gated and has an only main entrance from Al Wadi Street which bounds the campus from the west 8.4 Connectivity: Movement Classification: The movement inside the campus encompases the movement of both pedestrians and vehicles.

● Context is the character and setting of the area with in which a projected scheme will sit; the forms of the settlements, buildings and spaces. Context also includes people, the individuals living in or near an area. Athorough appreciation of the overall site context is the starting point for designing a distinct place We need a good study of the context to (1) strengthening local communities, (2) creating place of distinction, (3) harnessing intrinsic site assets and resources, (4) integrating with surroundings, (5) ensuring feasibility, and (6) providing vision. 9
1) mixed use development should take place along Al Wadi Street and the campus boundaries
The town gown relationship with the adjacent neighborhoods is limited to admission opportunities provided to surrounded neighborhoods’ pupils in the schools affiliated to the campus.
8.6 Greenness: It might be described as green campus and has green areas However, the campus suffers from lack of quality landscape
.
8.7 Context: The campus is an Urban Campus located in an urban area It is bounded by Al Wadi street and Ahmed Sharfi cemetery from the west It is also surrounded by neighborhoods from the other three directions. The campus has long boundaries without any mixed use development that is needed to create a strong relationship between the campus and its surrounding

• Administrative Use: Limited to the other units.
• Academic use: The Faculty of Education and the library should be preserved and have the ability to expand in their current location. The new centers for Distance Learning and Educational Technology should be added. In addition, the school of Additional Studies is to be added after being transferred from the central campus.
• Housing Use: The Teaching Staff housing, male students’ housing, and female students’ housing should be preserved. Students’ housing should expand in its surrounding Area and should also contain housing opportunities for postgraduate students (according to the new investment system).
• Social use: Students’ club should remain and expand in its current location. A new teaching staff club and a one for workers have to be established Moreover, the buffets have to be redistributed
