Abstract
The immunity constitutes a prerequisite to achieving security and feeling of safety, in the lives of the people from risks and disasters which the individual and the society he belongs faced them. Securing human from risks is one of the architecture goals since its existence. By its side the immunity can be matched with durability، which confirmed by Vitruvius as a requirement to achieve a sense of comfort and safety inside the building or the surrounding environment. Also the interactive between the human and the environment surrounding him cannot be verified when there is lacking of security which affects human role in the evolution of society. The research discusses the concept of immunity in the environment which surrounding building ، and the general problem states (absence the clear vision of the immunity concept and the mechanisms to achieve it) down to the aim of research as an analytical study of the environment surrounding the building as general and the university in particular and verification of their immunity which has become an important thing in the last time to protect these buildings and their occupants from possible risks. As a research problem states (absence the clear vision about the concept of immunity and its relationship with the environment surrounding the university). The major hypothesis represented as (the defense levels of surrounding environment of the university buildings make to increase their immunity), when the secondary hypothesizes represented: the first one as (the physical elements around the building make increasing the immunity of those buildings), while the second one as (Building location impacts within the surrounding environment to increase immunity). Finally, the study concluded to the importance of the surrounding environment of buildings and site, which consisted of natural or industrial physical elements to achieve the immunity of those buildings, and the needs of integration between these buildings environment surrounding deliberately.
