The university campus occupies about 45 acres within the 75 acre Pusat Ilmu Sharifah Rokiah, one of the flagship charity projects initiated by the Albukhary Foundation. The campus was designed along Islamic principles and showcases some of the most beautiful examples of Islamic architecture from around the Middle Eastern countries. It is an eco friendly walking campus where buildings are located in a hierarchical order of importance radiating from the mosque as the heart and soul of the campus. Immediately surrounding the mosque are the Convocation Hall, Library and Main Administration buildings. The next circular layer of buildings comprises the various Schools and Faculties, Lecture Theatre Complex and the Student Centre. The outer layer of buildings comprises the student hostels, dining halls, sports and recreational complex and other ancillary buildings.
The layout of the campus with the Albukhary mosque placed at the pivotal position, and spanning into concentric circles throughout the campus depicts the overarching values based on devotion to God, and compassion for Humanity. This arrangement points to the "soul" of AIU that radiates outwards to all parts of the campus and its community to strive for educational and intellectual excellence.
