King Abdullah City for Female Students [1] ( Arabic: مدينة الملك عبدالله للطالبات, romanized: Madīnah al-Malik ʿAbd Allāh aṭ-Ṭālibāt), officially the King Abdullah City for Female Students at Al-Imam University, is a women's only education enclave in western part of the premises of Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Inaugurated in 2010, [2] it costed two-billion Saudi riyals [3] (533 million USD) and later on incorporated three female students study centers of al-Batha, al-Malaz and al-Nafal by 2012. [4] Spanned across 100 hectares, it accommodates more than forty-thousand students from kindergarten to post-graduation [5] and includes six buildings, part of which is a library and students' lobby. [6]
In January 2006, King Abdullah laid the foundation stone for the construction for a two-billion Saudi riyals women's exclusive education zone within the premises of Imam Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University. [7] [8] In November 2010, after its inauguration, it was named after the monarch by the director of the university as 'King Abdullah Ibn Abdulaziz City for Female Students'. [9]
By 2011, the university began the process of merging the three former satellite campuses of al-Batha, al-Malaz and al-Nafal into the education enclave [10] as they struggled to operate in their respective residential areas. [11] The transfer of al-Malaz and al-Nafal branches were completed by early 2012, [12] except al-Batha branch due to lack of safety tests in the new buildings and was thus, delayed for some time.
