COOOP takes pride in its collaboration with Sindh Madressatul Islam University (SMIU) for the design of its campus in Karachi, Pakistan. With a rich history dating back to 1885, SMIU has evolved from a school to a college and finally to a chartered university recognized by the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan in February 2012. Spanning 270,000 square feet, the campus represents a significant milestone in SMIU's journey towards academic excellence and innovation.
COOOP's design approach for the SMIU campus integrates principles of behavior design, ensuring that the environment fosters collaboration, creativity, and academic growth. By creating functional and aesthetically pleasing spaces, the campus aims to inspire students, faculty, and staff to excel in their respective fields. From classrooms to recreational areas, every aspect of the design is meticulously planned to enhance the overall learning experience and promote a sense of community among its occupants.
As one of the oldest institutions in South Asia, SMIU holds a special place in the region's educational landscape. COOOP is committed to honoring this legacy by delivering a campus that reflects SMIU's commitment to academic excellence, research, and community engagement. Through our collaboration, we aim to contribute to SMIU's continued growth and success as a leading institution of higher learning in Pakistan.
