INTRODUCTION
In this project of 2 students in a group, we are told to initiate a small
construction in Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus and to use a
land size area of not to be more than 30mx30m anywhere on
campus ground.
As we have decided to construct a study enhancement area for
the students other than other options we have given according to
the brief. And so, for this project, we are going to construct a 15m x
15m size area which will be located at the open space between
BLOCK B and BLOCK C in the campus. As a group we are suppose
to produce a full report on the types of building development such
as follows :
- Suggestions
- Rationale
- Benefits
- Site analysis
- Costing and evaluation
- The needs for community and client etc.

SUGGESTION AND PROPOSAL
As the chosen site is between BLOCK C and BLOCK D in the
campus, we have decided to propose to build a 24/7 study
enhancement area.
This study enhancement area is specially for the dance students
who do not have a place to rehearse as they are always practicing
in front of the STUDENT LIFE CENTRE entrance. Therefore, it is very
unpleasant to see them practicing in front of the STUDENT LIFE
CENTRE tempered glass by looking at their reflections. In this study
enhancement area there will be :
- Fully furnished air-conditioned room
- Acoustic panels to make the room soundproof
- Mirror in the dancing room
- Tables and chairs for students to come study in the study
area.
- Wi-Fi facility

RATIONAL AND BENEFITS
Based on a lot of reviews from students that we have collected,
they have commented a lot on proposing to do a combination of
study area and dancing rehearse room for the both students from
other programmes and the dance faculty.
Since a lot of us are always busy with a lot of assignments and well
they will and up rushing, this study enhancement area provides
them to do their work or assignments well and also provide a
conducive environment for the dance students to practice.

7. 7
BENEFITS
 Dancing studio room can provide a better learning space for
students of dancing clubs.
 This room is better for them to learn their dances as it is an
enclosure which also provides privacy for students so that they
can concentrate on their practices.
 It also contains a wall mirror for them to check on their posture
when dancing to improve themselves during practice.
 Dance also offers an activity for people who may not consider
themselves as ‘sporty’.
 The study area is an area that has positivity that makes
students to study better.
 The 24/7 room is provided to increase the amount of 24 hours
study area in the university for students.
 The 24/7 room will have soothing music to motivate those who
are studying there.
 They can feel more relaxed while doing their work

SITE ANALYSIS
The site that is selected to construct this 24/7 Study Room is
located at the open space between BLOCK B and BLOCK C in
the campus.
We have decided to take up the whole space as the size area is
just nice to build this 24/7 study enhancement room.
Since the ground of the site is very uneven as it is elevated to a
height of 1m, a flat foundation to support the entire construction
will be built. Based on analysis that have been carried out are :

Picture 1 refers to the overview of the chosen site. As displayed in
the picture, the red box refers to total measurement of our chosen
site which 15mx15m. Hence, the study enhancement area will be
located exactly into how the position of the red box is. Going
towards BLOCK B is to the right and to BLOCK C is to the left.
Picture 2 refers to the front view of the site, as you can see, there is
a 1m, elevated flooring ( black arrow in picture ). To make even,
the flooring will be rebuilt by raising the floor as to become same
level with the cement flooring as shown.

CONCEPT
Given that a study enhancement area is an area just to study. For
this project it will not be a room for just studying. It is collaborated
with also a dance room. Therefore, the study room will be in the
front and the dance room will be behind it.

18. 18
As referring to so many research in the internet, we have decided
to combine these two types of learning area in to a single room.
Since there is always been only a single study room filled with chairs
and tables, we have decided to do a 2 in 1 study area room.
The main concept as mentioned might not be a good idea but
then, referring to make more different will be more sophisticated in
order to know that the campus has a 2 in 1 study area room.

MATERIALS EXPLAINATION
1. , 2. – ACOUSTIC CEILING AND
WALL PANELS
These panels will be located in the
surrounding of the dance room as
to prevent any music or loud sound
to interrupt the study area in the
front.
3. , 4. – Tempered glass door
and window
These materials are all used for the
study area room, as for the entry
and exit. The windows will be
transparent so that students do not
feel too secluded.
5. Wooden tables and chairs This type of furniture is good to use
as it is solid and very convenient it is
very long and can accommodate
at least 3 students in one table.
6. Carpet flooring Carpets will be easy to walk in and
out and also easy to clean as, it can
be just vacuumed.

CONCLUSION
In conclusion, by proposing this study room in this unused area will
eventually attracts the attention of students especially dancing
students in Taylor’s University. In our proposal site, there will be three
compartment in our study enhancement area which are the
combination of study room with the discussion room, presentation
room and last but not least the dancing studio. This study area will
be very convenient for the students as this is 3 in 1 where students
can just choose to go to whichever study room they prefer.
The main focus of building this 3 in 1 study enhancement area is to
provide a dancing studio for the dancers as we can always see
them practicing in front of the STUDENT LIFE CENTRE tempered glass
by looking at their reflections. Most of the time they only practice
starting from late night which is very unfair for them.

25. 25
Therefore, we decided to build this study area which also includes
a dancing studio. This dancing studio has acoustic panels
surrounding them so that they do not cause any disturbance to the
study rooms beside them during practice. This 3 in 1 area also
contains a presentation room which helps in students presentation
work. This proposal will definitely bring benefits to every students
especially dancing students and also students that do their revision
overnight as we had increase the amount of 24/7 study room.
