Lebanese American University

The Byblos campus, inaugurated in 1991, hosts the nursing, medicine, engineering and pharmacy programs, while most of the other programs are offered in both campuses. LAU’s Beirut and Byblos campuses are respectively 2.54 hectares and 15.94 hectares wide. In both campuses, students have access to libraries, gymnasiums, residence halls, theaters, wireless internet, computer centers, laboratories, and academic support services. On June 30, 2009, LAU acquired the LAU Medical Center-Rizk Hospital (LAUMC-RH). LAUMC-RH offers medical services such as radiology and imaging, dialysis, endoscopy, dermatology, ophthalmology, IVF, and cardiology. In 2013, LAU moved its New York City headquarters to mid-town Manhattan and opened a new Executive Center in downtown Beirut. On April 2017, the LAU broke ground in its Byblos Campus on a new 7 Million USD sports center, the "Antoun Nabil Sehnaoui - SGBL Athletics Center", donated by Lebanese banker and philanthropist Antoun Sehnaoui. The new center will feature a 8,500 square meter athletics center, a swimming pool, a multipurpose indoor court, outdoor football, basketball and tennis fields, as well as a gym and several other related amenities.
