This document summarizes a student project to design a recreational area on a 30m x 30m plot of land beside Taylor's University Lakeside Campus. The proposed design includes a fishing platform on the lake, grass flooring, gazebos, benches, LED lighting, and other amenities. The purpose is to create a green space for students to relax and socialize. A site analysis found the current area gets hot with little shade. The proposed design aims to address this with trees and shelters. The recreational area would allow activities like fishing, barbecuing, and outdoor studying. The total estimated cost is RM20,300.

3. INTRODUCTION
In this introduction to construction industry’s final project, we are required to
form in a group of 2 students to find a specific land in Taylor’s University
Lakeside Campus area to initiate a small construction. The site we need to
select for our construction site should not be more than 30mx30m. We should
propose a project that serves one of the following purposes which is:
1. Recreation area
2. Study Enhancement Area
3. Rest area
4. Food and beverage (dining area)
5. Commercial area (exclude food and beverage)
We have decided to construct our site into a recreation area. We have selected
the site 30mx30m which is free car park spaces beside Taylor’s University
Lakeside Campus’s Syopz’s Mall. Our 30mx30m site also connected with part of
lake.

4. SUGGESTION AND PROPOSAL
For this project, we decided to propose a recreational area. This
recreational area can be visit by students during day and night times.
It is cover with a lot of greens example like trees, flowers and grass.
This recreational area also for student to hang out and chill just like
another example of Syopz’s Mall.

5. INTRODUCTION TO THE SITE
Basically our site is an area located in Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus. The
location of Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus is No.1 Jalan Taylor’s 47500
Subang Jaya Selangor Darul Ehsan.
These are the closer views of our site. As you can see the cars are
parking on the muddy and rocky roads.
This is the view of the site from library.
The site is a parking spaces which need
to pay for entry.

Our site is include the free car park spaces and some parts of the 5.5 hectares
man-made lake. The approximate measurement of the car park area only is

park spaces.

8. SITE ANALYSIS
We had observed that our site conditions is always under a hot sunny sun
which cause the students sweat a lot when they going up or off from their cars
to the campus. This is because the site has a very less amount of trees and
plants to cold the weather or as a shelter to cover the area.
The wind strength at our site is average because it does have a lot of tress and
only an empty spaces. Sometimes the wind will be strong when the sign of rain
is coming.
The road in our site is not in a good condition because it full of rocks and sand
which have a rough and uneven surface and it may damage the vehicles tires.
The worst feeling happen when the strong wind blew and the sand on the site
fly and cause students eyes uncomfortable.
There is no places example like shelter for students to rest under a hot sun.

11. Concept
The concept of the recreational area is part of the lake and part of
the ground. The part of the lake allowed students to have fishing
activities. The recreational area will create a platform there.
The ground of the recreational area is made in grass floor which
allowed students to sit on it for resting or having some activities on
the grass floor. It also a place for students to relax.

12. Gazebo is the most common structure you can see in every park but
in this recreational area you can see a shelter provided BBQ
equipment for students to have BBQ there.
THE OVERALL CONCEPT
Before this it was a car park spaces but after the recreational park is
done it will only allowed bicycles to enter the park.

13. LAYOUT AND PERSPECTIVES

the recreational area.
This is how the platform for fishing look like people
can fishing there.
The wood bench in our recreational area people can
rest here.

14. This is how the stone bench will look like it is nicer
and people can rest here.
The gazebo will look like this people can rest inside
when hot weather or raining.

19. This is the example of grass will be plant
at the recreational park as a grass floor
for people to sit. It looks kind of clean
and smooth.
These are the wooden fences will be used to
surround the platform and lake area.

20. THE PURPOSE AND BENEFITS OF THE SITE
The purpose and benefits to create this recreational park is to make
the area more greenish instead of it just like an unprotected area
become a car park spaces before this. Since Taylor’s University
Lakeside Campus have a large amount of students and the study or
revision areas are limited so this recreational area is create for
students to have their discussions or works at here. This also a good
place for students to enjoy and relax. Here also can release their
stress with the good environment and fresher air which surround
with a lot of greens. Students also can have some activities in this
recreational area. They can sit on the grass floor which is a new life
style to have their revision and study. The most interesting activity in
this recreational park is there is a lake for fishing. There is also
barbeque stuff inside the each shelter for students to have their
barbeque after their fishing.

22. CONCLUSION
In a conclusion, we know to build a recreation area within Taylor's Lakeside
University is not that easy, because we have think a lot and plan a lot before
we start the construction. For example the air pollution, the sound pollution
will affect the students studying and etc. Meanwhile, we built a recreation area
which can provide a better place for students to enjoy themselves while
studying. We also provide some activity inside the recreational area. We hope
student will like and enjoy it. Lastly, we hope that this construction will get
approve by Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus as soon as possible. This will
be a recreational area which might not be appeared in others Universities or
Colleges.
