The main objective of this design is to create a building that optimally meets student needs and activities, as well as making a positive contribution to the campus environment. The methods used include field surveys, space requirements analysis, comparative studies, and the use of architectural design software. Various aspects considered in this design include space requirements for academic and non-academic activities, affordability of facilities for people with disabilities, environmental sustainability, and building aesthetics.
