Campus & Facilities

Forman Christian College has an impressive and well-maintained campus with all the facilities needed to create an environment that is conducive for purposeful learning. Located in a beautiful residential and commercial part of Lahore, the campus sprawls over a hundred acres along the left bank of the canal. The infrastructure for the Intermediate section includes four academic buildings, four hostels, a student recreation center, an auditorium and a library for Intermediate students.

The Intermediate canteen is located near Susheela Building. The Susheela canteen is exclusively for Intermediate students and is open from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm, Monday through Friday on days that classes are in session. The canteen may be used, with permission, for events outside normal hours. This can be scheduled through the Director of Student Activities. The canteens are for the use and enjoyment of all members of the campus community. Patrons are expected to be courteous of one another and of the staff and to maintain a clean environment.

Intermediate Library

The Ewing Memorial Library – College Section, was established in 2010 as a separate library for Intermediate students in the Susheela Building, room 026. It contains books on topics of general interest which are housed in a closed shelf system. Four computer workstations are also available in the library for general searching and internet browsing, which students can reserve for a period of one hour. To maintain an environment conducive for studying, the library is a silent area and discussions are not allowed.

 

Library Portal on Web

The Ewing Memorial Library has launched its web-based Information Portal (I-Portal) which can be accessed anytime from anywhere, through http://libraryportal.fccollege.edu.pk/. Students can search the library catalogue and login to their accounts to view their activity information, for instance checking the overdue books and fines, and renewing books online among others.  I-Portal also holds information about newly arrived books and journals and the encyclopedia, dictionaries and other reference materials. Access to the HEC Digital Library is also available through Library I Portal.

 

Religious Life

For Christian students, we offer regular Chapel programs and Bible study groups, as well as a variety of opportunities for volunteer service. The College Chaplain has an office located in the back of the ICF Building (behind the chapel). There is also a mentoring program in place for minority students run by Dr Christy Munir. His office is located in the Armacost Building, room 122. For Muslim students, we have two mosques on campus and Juma prayers are held each Friday in the larger mosque. Class timings are shifted on Friday so that all students who wish to do so may attend. We also organize Dars-e-Quran classes together with symposia and discussions.
