Universiti Darul Iman

EDUCATIONAL UTILITY. The site is located in Mukim Tembila, Besut, Terengganu Darul Iman with direct scenic link to the South China Sea. The total land area for the overall development is 1000 acres and Phase 1 of the development takes up one-third of the site to accommodate academic facilities for a total of 1000 students.

The university campus is designed to respond to the utilitarianism of the context in the usage of materials, considering its proximity location to the sea. Spatial relationship is developed based on modular systems to simulate the programming of the forms and structures of the overall campus. Inspired by the local songket and batiks, buildings are organized in a grid-module system, tapped off from the main scenic thoroughfare, linked to each other with landscaped walks. Coincidentally, this modular planning creates pockets of communal spaces and courtyards within the buildings to express quality indoor and outdoor atmosphere for positive academic development.

The university will house full education facilities for two faculties, the Agro-Technology Faculty and the Info-Technology Faculty. The Chancellery leads the building components alongside the Students Affairs Centre (HEP), Library and a Main Hall that could accommodate 4000 people. Supporting facilities provided include a Sports Complex, which consists of a Swimming Complex, a Mini Stadium and an Indoor Arena.
