King Saud University is a public university in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, founded in 1957 by King Saud bin Abdulaziz as Riyadh University, as the first university in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The university, currently home to 55,000 students, was created to meet the shortage of skilled workers in Saudi Arabia and was renamed King Saud University in 1982. The facility was constructed in the 1980s and was the world's then-largest fixed-price contract in history for the sum of approximately $5 billion.
