Life at LUMS
|
| |
| LUMS is located
in the most historical and culturally rich city
in Pakistan. Lahore, also the center of higher
education in Pakistan, offers a vibrant, intellectually
welcoming and diverse environment. It is a city
of over 6.5 million people and a great starting
point from which to begin to know Pakistan.
Lahore has a small but vibrant expatriate community;
over twenty consulate offices are based in the
city and much of the international cultural
life revolves around them. There is an active
French Center, a well patronized American Club
and a German cultural center located in the
Annemarie Schimmel Haus. In addition, local
cultural life is intimately linked to the Alhamra
Arts Council, the historic Old City as well
as the numerous exhibitions and art galleries. |
| |
| The University
premises are located in Defense Housing Authority
(DHA). In keeping with Lahore’s architectural
history, the LUMS campus too echoes the city’s
traditional red brick exteriors. The campus
is constructed along uncomplicated straight
exteriors, extended rectangular arches and a
central octagon from which the buildings fan
out. Its layout is in keeping with what LUMS
aims to do and has already done, i.e. cementing
the traditions of Lahore’s educational
institutions of the past but always looking
ahead, anticipating change and going forward
to meet it. |

DHA is one
of the main suburbs in Lahore and also one of
its newest. Close to the airport (6 km away)
as well as the center of the historical part
of the city, DHA offers a wide range of services,
shops, and restaurants including bowling alleys,
ice-cream parlors, and cafes. Many of the best
private schools in the city are located in the
vicinity. The majority of them offer a high
school education culminating in the University
of Cambridge (GCE A-level) exams that are administered
by the British
Council. A number of schools also follow
the American high school system. Many of these
schools offer a wide range of extra-curricular
activities include drama, debate and competitive
sports. |
| |
| LUMS offers
on-campus housing to its faculty. There are
six faculty residential blocks providing high
quality 2-3 bedroom apartments which are allocated
on a first-come first-serve basis. There are
also a number of guest apartments available
for visiting faculty. A significant share of
the faculty, including most international faculty,
lives on campus which forms an integral part
of the LUMS community. The open spaces and child
friendly facilities make it an attractive and
secure environment for young families. |

The campus
offers a wide range of amenities for both students
and faculty. Besides the academic and residential
buildings, there is a new sports facility with
excellent tennis, squash and gym facilities.
Plans are underway to build a swimming pool
which should be ready by 2008. The University
houses the Rausing
Executive Centre, which offers a range of
executive training courses and provides an opportunity
for the faculty to interact with leading members
of Pakistan’s business community. The
Rausing Center also offers special services
which LUMS faculty can avail, including temporary
accommodation for visitors. In addition, there
is an on-campus store, day-care centre and medical
facilities. |
