Preparations are ramping up across the Belgaid university residences in Oran ahead of the 2026/2027 academic term, with extensive development, maintenance, and equipment upgrades underway to ensure facilities are fully operational. Said Ibrahim, Director of University Services for Belgaid-Oran, has been conducting on-site inspections alongside coordination meetings with key officials to expedite ongoing operations and guarantee optimal living conditions for incoming students.
Major structural work, rehabilitation, and maintenance are actively progressing across several sites, including Belgaid 08, Belgaid 03, and the Souleimane-Abdelkader (Belgaid 01) residence. Key interventions focus on restoring communal spaces, repainting and renovating dining halls, and repairing electrical wiring and lighting systems.
At Belgaid 09, a supplementary delivery of mattresses and bedding arrived to bolster site furnishings ahead of student intake.
Progress across these locations is subject to strict field oversight through recurring inspection visits led by the director of university services, the head of finance and public procurement, and the head of monitoring and coordination. At Belgaid 08, the delegation reviewed the execution pace of ongoing fit-out and equipment work before proceeding to Belgaid 07 to evaluate facility readiness.
During these visits, the director emphasized the urgency of accelerating execution speeds, meeting strict deadlines, and maintaining quality standards so that both sites reach full readiness before the academic term commences.
Concurrently, room assignments for 2026 high school graduates represent a core priority, supported by a structured framework designed to streamline housing allocation. This initiative runs alongside continuous technical reviews aimed at ensuring all housing units are fully functional for day one of the academic year.
Concluding the coordination sessions, the director of university services urged residence managers to sustain operational momentum and deploy all necessary resources to deliver an improved living environment and elevated service standards for the 2026/2027 academic year.
