SMIU’s newly constructed building of IT Tower inaugurated

A newly constructed seven floor building of Information Technology Tower (IT Tower) has been added to Sindh Madressatul Islam University. It has twelve classrooms, four computer labs, seventeen rooms for faculty on ground floor, three executive centre rooms, incubation centre and a library.
The IT Tower building is located in premises of SMIU near the SMIU Model School.
Dr. Mujeeb Sahrai, Vice Chancellor SMIU, inaugurated IT Tower on Tuesday. Later on, while addressing the participants Dr. Mujeeb Sahrai said there was a need of more academic blocks for SMIU as enrollment of students was increasing during every admission process, while there was insufficient space for academic activities.
Now this building will accommodate a sizeable number of students.
Dr. Mujeeb Sahrai further said we are living in the age of information technology, hence our young generation must be given education of information technology, computer science, artificial intelligence, software engineering, data science and cyber security as they could compete with the world.
“When I had joined SMIU as a Vice Chancellor two years ago, the building of IT Tower was incomplete, then I took special efforts for its completion, now it is complete and fully functional,” the Vice Chancellor said. He praised the role of Dean Faculty of I.T. Dr Aftab Ahmed Shaikh, Advisor to Vice Chancellor on Academic Dr. Abdul Hafeez Khan, Director Works and Services Parvez Ali Bhutto and others for making the I.T. Tower functional.

Earlier, Mr. Parvez Ali Bhutto, Director Works and Services in his presentation said IT Tower has been provided modern facilities including heating, ventilating and air conditioning system (HVAC), VRF air-conditioned system, firefighting system, data system and surveillance rooms etc. He also said that the construction work of the building is completed in three years.
