University of Samarra enhances sustainability through campus green spaces

The University of Samarra has allocated extensive areas of vegetation within its campus, used for scientific research, practical teaching, and community engagement, with an estimated size ranging between 35,000 – 45,000 square meters.

The university confirmed that these spaces, which constitute about 96% of the open areas, include landscaped gardens, tree belts, green corridors, and palm zones, in addition to tree‑lined internal roads and vegetation belts surrounding colleges and administrative buildings.

It explained that the vegetation contributes to improving air quality, reducing heat accumulation, supporting ecological balance, and enhancing biodiversity, making the campus a healthier and more sustainable educational and research environment.

It is noted that these initiatives are part of the university’s strategy to strengthen environmental sustainability, support agricultural and environmental research projects, and promote community awareness programs along with student initiatives.
