The wonderfully brutalist University of Zambia is in bad condition and has a special story. The campus was planned and partly executed by Israel. However, for political reasons the Israelis abandoned the building site in 1973, taking all plans with them. Zambia was never able to obtain these plans, so the project remains unfinished to this day.
