Yarmouk University contributes to the implementation and success of a project supported by the European Union within the Program "Climate for Cities" called "A Clean and Energy Efficient Versatile Public Building" in Irbid. The project manager at Yarmouk University, a faculty member in the Department of Civil Engineering at Al-Hijjawi Faculty for Engineering Technology, Dr. Mazhar Taamneh, said that this project comes in partnership with the Greater Irbid Municipality and the Future Pioneers Association, and it represents a pioneering step towards enhancing smart and sustainable infrastructure in the City. He added that the goal of the project, "which is expected to be completed in 2026", is to improve environmental quality and reduce traffic congestion, which contributes to improving air quality, reducing carbon emissions, and enhancing community cohesion and inclusion.
