INTRODUCTION TO PROJECT:
In this project, we are tasked to commence a small
construction project in Taylor’s University Lakeside
Campus. We are to use a land area of about
10mx10m anywhere on campus ground.
As we have decided to construct a rest area, the
small project that we are commencing is the
construction of a Taxi Stand. The construction of this
project will take place at an empty space beside the
Food Arena food court. A 10mx10m area will be
taken from that open space.

The Lakeside Campus houses all existing tertiary
programmes under one roof. Set on 27 acres of
tropical greenery near Jalan PJS 7/5, the campus is
surrounded by a revived 5.5 acre man-made lake, as
well as a landscape of water plants, trees and
flowering shrubs, and groundcover that provides a
rich and stimulating natural environment in the
neighbourhood.

SITE ANALYSIS:
The site that is selected to construct this Taxi Stand
located at the open space beside Arena Food Court
which is located inside the commercial block of
TAYLORS UNIVERSITY LAKESIDE CAMPUS.
The open space beside the food court measures
approximately 30x100m and to construct this taxi
stand, only 10mx10m of the entire space will be used.
This is to ensure that the open space is not
completely affected to maintain its aesthetics.
The site is covered by glass roofing and the floor is
covered with masonry flooring. There is also a 24-hour
security office nearby for safety.

Commercial activities include the buying and
selling of goods and services in retail businesses,
wholesale buying and selling, financial
establishments, and wide variety of services that
are broadly classified as "business".
Even though commercial activities use only a small
amount of land, they are extremely important to a
community’s economy.
Some examples of commercial area buildings
include the following:
Bank
Gas station
Grocery store

PROPOSAL
THE TAXI STAND
This is a revolutionary taxi stand that offers a waiting
/resting lounge, office space, lavatory and also
gadget charging stations for all mobile devices. This is
the result of incorporating universal language and
modern technology.
Electrical and lighting systems are assembled within
the installation floor, which is hidden, between ceiling
and the roof that can help improve its aesthetic
value. Other than that there is a system that is in
place to collect rainwater and use it within the
infrastructure.

PURPOSE AND CONCEPT
The aim of constructing this taxi stand is to allow
people to wait for their taxi at the commercial block
in a more comfortable and stylish manner as there is
a choice of sitting in the modern designed air-
conditioned waiting lounge or the non-air-
conditioned lounge.
Continuously, the taxi stand also has a mini vertical
garden that serves it purpose to help improve the
environment. Not only that, this taxi stand also offers
taxi-booking services to ease the amount of waiting
time. Other than that, the taxi stand also has a
gadget charging station for all mobile devices.
As mentioned above, this project will be constructed
at the commercial block. Since the commercial has
many people coming in and out, it will make a huge
amount of difference for the people that are
frequently traveling by taxi and will make a perfect
resting area for not only the passengers but also for
the taxi drivers.

MATERIALS
1)Recycled steel
Recycling steel reduces the consumption of other
valuable resources. Every ton of recycled steel saves
1.5 tons of iron ore, .5 tons of coal and 40 percent of
the water normally used in the production process

2) Recycled Wood/Plastic Composite Lumber
Composite lumber is a material that is a mixture
of wood fiber, plastic, and some type of binding
agent. These ingredients are put together to form a
material that is denser, stronger, and heavier than
wood alone, a wood-plastic composite.

3)Low-E Glass
The "E" in low-E stands for emissivity, and a clear
coating of metallic oxide on these windows keeps
the heat inside the house in the winter and outside in
the summer.

4)LED Lights
An LED lamp is a light-emitting diode (LED) product
that is assembled into a lamp (or light bulb) for use in
lighting fixtures. LED lamps have a lifespan
and electrical efficiency that is several times better
than incandescent lamps, and significantly better
than most fluorescent lamps, with some chips able to
emit more than 100 lumens per watt.

CONCLUSION
In conclusion, the taxi stand is very convenient for the
people in tailors lakeside university especially when
public holiday and Sunday. The people who want to
take a taxi can wait in comfort and style. Although it
is just 10m x 10m but it already help the people a lot
in terms of time saving and rest. Also, people can
charge their mobile devices and be at ease. We
hope that by constructing this taxi stand, we can
help reduce the burden of the people in Taylor’s
lakeside university and make it a better place for
people to visit and be known as a world-class
education hub.
