Designing Technology Laboratory with Green Architecture Approach and Open Space Integration at Faculty of Engineering USU

Abstract

The Faculty of Engineering at North Sumatra University (USU) needs a new technology laboratory that can support cutting-edge research and learning. This laboratory should be designed with sustainability principles in mind and integrated with open spaces to create a conducive and environmentally friendly learning environment. The aim of this design is to create a technology laboratory that supports cuttingedge research and learning, and applies sustainable green design principles. The design of this technology laboratory includes the use of environmentally friendly building materials, energy efficiency, good water management, and integration with green open spaces that can be used as learning and gathering areas. Thus, this laboratory not only functions as a research and learning facility, but also as a model building that emphasizes aspects of sustainability. The design also contributes to creating a healthier, more comfortable and inspiring learning environment for students and staff. With this laboratory, the USU Faculty of Engineering can position itself as a pioneer in the application of green technology and sustainable education in Indonesia. It is hoped that the existence of this green technology laboratory can have a long-term positive impact on the quality of
