High profile projects
Preserving Institutional Heritage with Modern Finishing Systems
The Rectorate Building of Damascus University stands at the administrative heart of Syria’s oldest and most prestigious academic institution. Serving as the central administrative headquarters of the university, the building houses executive offices, administrative departments, meeting halls, and ceremonial spaces.
Educational institutions with historic and institutional value require finishing systems that balance visual elegance with durability and long-term protection. Public buildings experience heavy daily usage from students, faculty, and visitors, making surface durability and ease of maintenance essential.
Through its expertise in architectural coatings, AEC supplied high-performance Jotun decorative systems designed to maintain the building’s professional appearance while protecting its structural surfaces.
