Campus Facilities for Community Groups: Thinadhoo City Football Club
On 6 December 2025, MNU Thinadhoo Campus hosted Thinadhoo City Football Club for team-building and first aid sessions as the club prepared for the BML Atoll Championship. In interactive team-building activities, players worked on communication, trust, leadership and mutual support. A practical first aid session followed, covering minor injuries, common sports incidents and emergency response during training and matches. Opening campus facilities to local sports clubs strengthens the University’s role as a shared community resource. It also supports youth development and safer sport in Thinadhoo.

Hire of MNU premises (bookable spaces with published rates)
MNU’s Hire of Premises page lists university spaces that can be booked through an online booking request form, with approval given under MNU policy. They include auditoriums, halls, seminar rooms, classrooms, computer labs, courtyards and grounds at the Central Administration, the Faculties of Education, Health Sciences and Hospitality and Tourism Studies, the Business School, and the Kulhudhuffushi, Thinadhoo, Hithadhoo and Gan campuses. Rates are published for each space; for example, an auditorium costs 1,500 for up to three hours and a classroom 450 an hour. The page does not say who may book, and all use is charged. For SDG 11, it is evidence that MNU’s buildings in Malé and the atolls are available for outside events, where large indoor spaces are scarce. A record of 2025 bookings by outside groups, and any free use by community groups, would strengthen it. The proof is the Hire of Premises page.
MNU Book Fair 2025 in the B-Block PE Hall, open to the public
MNU held its fifth Book Fair from 11 to 13 September 2025 in the PE Hall of its B-Block building in Malé. The fair was opened by Fizana Rasheed, Chief Executive of the Maldives Qualifications Authority. Forty entities, including Maldivian authors, publishers and booksellers, offered more than 1,800 items, among them books, learning materials and children’s games. It was open every day from 4 to 6 pm and from 8 to 10 pm. Marketing reports more than 2,000 community visitors, while BD reports more than 1,200, so one figure should be agreed. For SDG 11, the fair is evidence that MNU opens its buildings to the public for cultural and educational events.
