The Jordan University of Science and Technology was established on 1 September 1986. Although its campus outside Irbid was originally intended to be the new, future campus of Yarmouk University, five faculties (the engineering and medical faculties) were instead detached from Yarmouk University and moved to the new campus, where they would become the first faculties of Jordan University of Science and Technology. Yarmouk University is a University in Jordan. It was established in 1976.

The JUST campus is located approximately 20 km east of Irbid in northern Jordan and covers an area of approximately 11 km². Irbid (إربد known in ancient times as Arabella, is The capital and largest city of the Irbid Governorate, it is also the third largest city in Jordan In addition to academic buildings and the JUST Library, the campus includes athletic facilities including a 7000-seat soccer stadium.

Jordan University of Science and Technology is also home to King Abdullah Universitarian Hospital, the 683-bed teaching hospital affiliated with JUST and its medical faculties.

The university contains two main campuses, known as: the Medicine Faculties Building and the Engineering Faculties Building. Students can use available buses to move from one campus to the other. And there is also a mini train which is not often used. But since the distance between the two isn't relatively that long many prefer walking.

There are two libraries: one in the Engineering Faculties Building and the other is in the Medicine Faculties Building. While both libraries give the students an appropriate and suitable place for reading and studying, the two-floor library at the Medicine Faculties Building, which is relatively larger, also contains 115,000 books, and 45,000 volumes of back issues of periodicals. which makes it the main library at this university. [3] Currently, a new library is being built at the area between the Engineering Faculties Building and the Medicine Faculties Building which is larger than both existing Aside from the employees and guests restaurants, there are also three restaurant for the student: One in each main campus, and one located near the soccer stadium. In addition, the Medicine Faculties Building contains a mini market where students can find items which they may not find in restaurants.

Every department has a computer lab for the students to use. There are also two open labs one in each campus. Moreover, six additional labs are available for the graduate, undergraduate computer science students and students who are taking computer science courses at the PH building located at the Medicine Faculties Building.

Of the many universities gates, only two gates are probably the most familiar in the eyes of the students which are: the main gate and the Engineering Faculties Building's gate. The main gate, which is newer than the other, leads nearly to the the middle of the way between the two main campuses. The other gate leads to the Engineering Faculties Building directly.


The campus is covered by a wireless internet connection in order to provide the students, faculty members and researcher with the richness of the internet and to help make the largest source of information in this world accessible anytime and anywhere at the university campus. [4]
