On 3rd March 2026, Civil Engineering students from the Faculty of Engineering, Science and Technology (FEST) visited the construction site of the new Maldivian Headquarters in Malé, a modern 12-storey steel-structured office building developed for Island Aviation Services Limited and constructed by Human No. 6 Company. The students received a briefing from site engineers on the project design, construction progress, structural system, and safety practices before touring the site to observe ongoing construction activities and key structural elements. The visit provided valuable hands-on exposure to modern construction methods and technologies, enabling students to relate their theoretical knowledge to real-world civil engineering practices and large-scale commercial development.

The construction site visit aligns with SDG 4 (Quality Education) by providing Civil Engineering students with practical, hands-on learning that connects classroom theory with real-world construction practices. It supports SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) by enhancing students’ technical skills, workplace awareness, and employability through exposure to professional engineering practices and safety standards. The visit contributes to SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure) by exposing students to modern construction methods, structural systems, technologies, and large-scale infrastructure development. It also supports SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) by providing insight into the planning and construction of modern urban infrastructure that contributes to the development of resilient and functional communities.
