The construction of the new National Institute for Employment and Social Studies building at the University of Manouba in Tunisia has reached 30% completion. The project began in late 2025 and is expected to be finished within 900 days. The building is being constructed at a cost of approximately 25 million dinars and will provide a comprehensive academic environment for students.
The new institute will have a capacity to accommodate 1000 students and will feature various facilities, including classrooms, administrative and academic offices, and functional spaces. The project aims to provide a modern and integrated academic environment that meets the requirements of teaching, administration, and research. The University of Manouba has been overseeing the administrative supervision of the institute since 2024.
The construction of the institute is part of a larger effort to enhance the university's infrastructure and academic capabilities. The project is being implemented under the supervision of the Ministry of Equipment. Once completed, the institute will relocate from its current location in the Eastern region to the new building.
In addition to the institute, the university is also working on other projects to improve its facilities. These include the construction of a new school of engineering, which will be built at an estimated cost of 25,000 dinars. The school, established in 2022, is the first public engineering school in Tunisia to use English as the language of instruction.
The university's efforts to enhance its infrastructure are part of a broader strategy to improve the quality of education and research in Tunisia. The projects are designed to meet the evolving needs of students and the academic community. The university's development plan includes the creation of new buildings, expansion of existing facilities, and improvement of digital infrastructure.
The university's development projects are being implemented in phases. The second phase of the university's headquarters construction has reached over 35% completion, with work starting in August 2025 at a cost of 1.774 million dinars. The third phase includes civil engineering, networks, and roads, which have reached an advanced stage of completion.
