EVENT SPACE RENTAL ACTIVITY SPACE

The newly designed space is open to public
users but can also multi-function as a space
to generate some income for the University.
Here are some proposals as to how the space
can be utilized and beneficial to many.
By eliminating the vehicle pass from the Al
Ghazali Walk, it has now become a mini
botanical garden in the center of the
University.
Further developments such as a Butterfly
Farm and many more attractions can be
incorporated into this design theme to
challenge the boundaries of a typical
education facility.
