The document summarizes a site analysis and proposal for a new study area on the Taylor's University Lakeside Campus. Key details include: - The proposed site is a 30m x 30m area with average temperatures between 28-34°C, humidity of 70%, and UV index of 6. - Traffic is highest during class periods from 8am-12pm and 2pm-5pm. - The proposed study area would be located in an empty walkway in front of Lecture Theater 2 to make use of unused space. - It would provide shade, seating, and a rest area for students to study, rest, and work on assignments outdoors.

6. Suggestion
A site that functions as a rest area which has shade and a nice seating
area.The placement is in the walkway infront Lecture Theater 2 because the
walkway there is empty and serves no purpose other than functioning as a
walkway.It has much more unused potential.This rest area that we are
proposing can use that potential and be benefitial for the students.

10. Rationale
Seeing as that students in the campus are constantly looking for
comfortable places in the campus to carry out their assignments and
studying, it would suffice to say that the campus lacks enough study
enhancement areas to accommodate students of all kinds who are
currently or eventually will be studying there.
While Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus does offer a great deal of spaces
to enhance the students’ learning experience, these spaces are not
necessarily catered to the various kinds of students, who would not all wish
to study at the same place at the same time every day. For example, not all
of students are comfortable sitting in the cold and quiet recesses of the
library all the time, especially when it is so congested at times of the day.
While places like the library are suitable for students who prefer quiet and
more peaceful environments for focused reading and study, many other
students are suited towards conducting their projects and discussions in
brighter, more open areas, potentially outdoors. On the other hand we
have architectural studios, while open almost 24/7 are specially designated
towards degree students, while foundation students do not have their own.
This often leaves foundation students roaming the halls of the campus
looking for an adequate place to carry on with their projects after being
evacuated of the architectural studios by the degree students.
As a solution to this, we are proposing a new study enhancement area in
the campus which will provide a better, more comfortable space to work
for not only more students, but different types of students who would
prefer a different environment to study in.

11. The proposed study enhancement area will be situated in an open area
outside of the campus buildings, at the amphitheater. The placement of the
study area is owing to the openness of the amphitheater and its
accessibility. Here, students will be able to have a new place to conduct
discussions, work and study in a brighter, more open environment.

12. Benefits
There are various benefits to the proposed project including;
• A more conducive environment for students and lecturers to have
discussions
• A proper place for students and lecturers to have tutorials and study
groups outside of the campus buildings for those who enjoy working
in a sheltered space outdoors.
• Provides additional learning space to the campus which can be
utilized by the students and lecturers
• Enhances the learning experience of the students by giving them a
comfortable place to conducts their studies
• Utilizes the open spaces of the campus grounds in a conventional
fashion
• Doubles its function as a multi-purpose space if required

13. • Easily accessed for use and maintenance
• Easily maintained
Needs of the project to client
As Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus (the client) is a well-known
educational institute with a proud name to uphold, it is essential that the
campus provides the best environment possible to maintain its image. This
means meeting the needs of their students and staff.
As such, it is important that the client caters to as many students possible
to ensure that their clientele is kept satisfied.
With the implementation of this project, the client will be providing for
more students as well as providing a different learning environment in the
same educational institute. With this, more students will feel comfortable
with working and learning in the campus, making their stay in Taylor’s
University a greater experience.
This project will also provide university staff with additional designated
place to conduct tutorials with students. Being easily accessed and
comfortable to use, lecturers and students can conveniently meet for
tutorial sessions. It also acts as a home for private discussions to be held.
With this, staff too will have further ease in conducting their duties, making

14. for an overall friendlier learning environment.
In meeting the needs of the university staff and students, the reputation of
the campus will bloom, making Taylor’s University more popular in the
education sector and amongst the public. This will eventually give rise to
the numbers of students and staff joining the university, raising its overall
efficiency and income.
In conclusion, this project meets and supports the needs of the university
and will prove to be an asset in improving Taylor’s University.
Needs of the project to
community
In context of the community, which refers to the students and staff of the
university, the needs are as follows;
• A conducive and comfortable environment to study
• Spaces which are easily accessed and convenient to use
• Catering to various types of students conducting various learning
activities
• Sufficient designated spaces to study and work
As students, among the most essential factors which affect the learning
experience is the environment which they study in. While the campus
provides many spaces for study such as the library, computer labs and
classrooms, not all students are comfortable studying in such enclosed
environments and usually resort to taking their work elsewhere. With the

15. implementation of a study enhancement area such as the proposed
project, students who prefer more open areas to work are provided with an
ideal space to conduct their discussions and assignments.
Another factor that is important in a student’s learning experience in an
educational institute is to have sufficient places to work. Often when
students are utilizing classrooms and studios in the campus, their
assignments are interrupted by having to move out due to other students
having classes scheduled in said studio. This results in students having to
pack off and search for another suitable place to carry out their work. The
proposed study enhancement area will provide students with extra space
to work.
Whilst the campus is full of places to use for classes and projects, many of
them are only accessible with permits or through travelling through
multiple floors by elevators and stairs. A welcome help would be to provide
more easily accessed spaces to conduct tutorials/ discussions/ coursework.
Through implementing the proposed project, students/lecturers would
have a convenient alternative to having to search the campus for a good
place to carry out their business.
