Statement Engage technology into education to guide students to decent careers, obtain digital skills and prepare local community to adapt technology education through community integration. The project tackles local social issues which are: shortage of appropriate higher education facilities and underemployment among graduates. The institute is composed of three departments, each is complementary to the other and they are: education, research and vocational training. Targeted groups are students, developers and innovators. The site is located in the east of Jerusalem city adjacent to Al-Quds university campus in Beit Hanina neighborhood. Recently the world is facing a pandemic, which made us wonder how we can provide appropriate awareness of E-Learning and train teachers and students to adapt such situation. Recent statistics of Faisal Al-Husseini institute shows that educational staff need around 150 course. Why technology? In modern theories of growth and development, technological innovation has taken the centre stage, so as technology is taking the lead in Education it supports vocational Learning, sustainability, development, economic growth and contributes in rising awareness and practical scientific thinking among generations. In the current globalizing world, economic markets are shifting from a local to a global arena. The economic development drives the demand for expertise and high quality workforce in various fields of the whole society, leading to a new round of development of vocational education. In the global market place, skilled workforce is the key to competitive prosperity.

A grid structure system has been adopted to provide flexibility in the interior spaces, the following diagrams shows how one floor plan could be designed. For the southern elevation, a modified Mashrabiye was used as a sun shade and to save energy.
