The University welcomes statements of qualifications and interest from firms with significant expertise in the design of master plans for higher education. Experience in similar projects in Egypt or the Middle East is particularly desirable. AUC is a comprehensive liberal arts university and was established in Egypt in 1919. It is chartered and accredited in the United States. The future campus of the University will provide full educational and support facilities for 5,500 full-time equivalent students, as well as provisions for future expansion. Summary and detailed facilities programs are currently being prepared. It is a requirement in Egypt that any foreign consulting firm wishing to work in the country be associated with a qualified local firm. International experience in such working relationships should be clearly identified and described. An important element in the consultant selection process is a firm's knowledge and experience in executing projects in the Middle East.
