The University of Tabuk is one of Saudi Arabia’s prominent public universities, located in the Kingdom’s northwest region and serving as an academic and research hub for the area. Since its establishment, the university has expanded significantly, offering a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate programs across multiple colleges and specialized research centers. With a diverse student population, a growing faculty community, and ongoing campus development projects, the University of Tabuk continues to play a key role in advancing education, research, and innovation in line with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.
To support its expanding academic mission and digital demands from students, faculty, and administrative units, the university set out to enhance its online ecosystem and strengthen its digital experience across all touchpoints.
The objective for the University of Tabuk was to create a unified digital architecture that could scale across the entire institution. The solution needed to centralize management, ensure platform consistency, and maintain shared UI and UX standards, while still allowing individual departments the autonomy to manage their content. A critical part of this transformation involved migrating legacy content to a modern Drupal stack, integrating authentication services to provide seamless user access, and improving overall performance, security, and accessibility across all university digital touchpoints.
Sprintive engineered a multi-layered Drupal multisite platform designed to support 200+ academic and administrative subsites, all operating under a centralized codebase and content governance model.
Key technical achievements include:
The University of Tabuk now operates a unified and centrally governed digital ecosystem that provides a consistent and scalable experience for students, faculty, and administrative users. The multisite strategy significantly reduced operational overhead, improved content lifecycle management, and allowed the university to rapidly onboard and maintain new departmental websites as needs evolve.
By leveraging Drupal’s enterprise-grade flexibility and aligning with Saudi Platforms Code, the university is now equipped with a modern digital infrastructure capable of supporting future services, integrations, and digital expansion.
