Alioune Diop University of Bambey (French: Université Alioune Diop De Bambey) is a public higher education institution located in Bambey in the Diourbel region of west-central Senegal.
History
Created in January 2007, the Regional University College of Bambey was converted into a university in November 2009 (Decree n° 2009-1221).[1]
In August 2011, the institution took the name "Alioune Diop University of Bambey", [2] in tribute to Alioune Diop, committed intellectual and founder of the magazine Présence africaine.
Bambey Campus Extension
In 2017, Alioune Diop University added a new lecture building to its Bambey campus.[3] A large tree on campus inspired the building's design, and like the tree, the building was intended to offer shelter, shade, and freshness for students.[4]
Designed by architects IDOM of Bilbao, Spain[3] the lecture building incorporates sustainable elements to cope with environmental challenges such as the rainy season.[5] and scarce resources[6] The architects found a way to keep the temperature cool without the use of air conditioning.[5] Even when the temperature outside reaches 40 degrees Celsius, the interior can remain a comfortable 25 degrees Celsius.[5]
One bioclimatic strategy the architects used to achieve this was a large double roof canopy which allows air to circulate.[5] A cantilevered roof provides shade along the south side of the building.[5] The building also incorporates locally-sourced, air-permeable bricks to form a latticework, filtering sunlight while allowing airflow.[5]
Another challenge the campus faces is flooding from torrential rain during the rainy season, from December to May.[5] To prevent the building from flooding, an infiltration reservoir on one side collects water.[5] This water enables plants to grow on rafts,[7] including citronella, which is intended to minimize mosquito populations near the building, reducing the chance that people in and around the building will be bitten and infected with malaria.[5] Waste water filters through a system using activated sludge.[7]
The Aga Khan Award for Architecture shortlisted the Alioune Diop University lecture building in 2019.[6] Award jurors were impressed with how the architects coped with environmental challenges while remaining sensitive to sustainability issues.[5]
The building houses training and research facilities for applied sciences and information and communications technology.[5] The amphitheatre, classrooms, technology rooms, and laboratories can accommodate up to 1,500 students.[5] The university has expressed pride in the building’s quality and is confident it will serve future generations.[5]
