APU’s
State-of-the-Art New Campus in Technology Park Malaysia (TPM)
APU’s
New Campus Constrapuon is now in progress in Technology Park Malaysia (TPM).
TPM is the ideal location for this new and contemporary Campus due to its strong
positioning as Malaysia's primary hub for leading-edge and high-tech
developments in a wide variety of areas such as Information and Communication
Technology, Biotechnology, Microelectronics, Engineering and Broadcasting. TPM
is also located in one of the most rapidly developing areas in Kuala Lumpur, and
is well served and accessible through major highways, LRT and other forms of
public transportation.
Located down the road from our present campus near Astro, a distinctive and
iconic feature of the new State-of-the-Art campus is its long central "Spine"
stretching from the main entrance all the way to the far end of the Campus,
which provides connectivity to the teaching blocks, the courtyards and a central
atrium. This also provides shade and protection from the heat and rain. The
teaching blocks will also be linked through multiple bridges between the blocks
and the Spine. The central atrium space forms the hub to the building with large
communal spaces, multipurpose hall and various other facilities like the large
library, computer & engineering labs, lounges and syndicate rooms. Students will
enjoy a lifestyle experience through the sports and recreation facilities such
as swimming pool, fitness center as well as basement car parks on campus, among
many other exciting facilities.
APU's
new campus will certainly set a new benchmark for design excellence among
Malaysian Universities, combining an eco-friendly campus with a dynamic blend of
technology and innovation to enable professional learning. It will be a
magnificent teaching & learning space for our Students & Staff designed by our
award-wining architects & consultants.
Let's
look forward to a revolutionary transformation of APU to our dream campus in
2015!
