8. Land Use
• Use the university grounds
appropriately as there is very limited
open space.
• Land should be allocated to answer
the demands of the majority and
needs of the university as a whole.
• As an institute of higher learning,
Chula must also work to serve and
integrate well with the surrounding
community.
• New buildings should be designed to
best relate to and interact with
nearby buildings to create the most
impressive esthetics.
