A New Engineering and Sciences Building has been opened in American University of Sharjah (AUS) by His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council of the United Arab Emirates, Ruler of Sharjah and President of AUS. The new four-story facility houses two auditoriums, 35 teaching and research laboratories, and 24 classrooms (including smart classrooms).
