Introduction
In this project, we are given a task to look for a specific land of maximum
30mx30m in Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus to initiate a small construction
project which serves as a suitable purpose.
The objectives of this project are to enable us to understand the building
team, its organization and duties. We can develop awareness of their
professional responsibilities and appreciate their profession in the construction
industry.
During every stages of proposal, we can learn about the coherent working
relations among various industry players. We will be able to document our
analysis and research resources as well as communicate ideas in a systematic
and convincing presentation and reports.

4. 4
Introduction to the Site
After surveying and some observation, we decided to propose a 2-storey
mini stadium construction, which will serve as a recreation area within the
campus.
Our 30mx30m site selected for the construction project is situated on the
basketball court and half of the futsal court. To the north, it is an open parking
space, a small golf court and the commercial blocks; to the east, Jalan Taylor’s
road makes its bend towards the
south part of our site. There is a
tennis court at the west side and a
small grass slope at the south. The
futsal court will soon be demolished
for our construction purpose and be
rebuilt on the second floor of the
mini stadium.

Site Analysis
Location
 North: Car park and commercial blocks
 South: Grass slope and roadway
 East: Roadway and trees
 West: Tennis court and a 5.5 acres man-made lake
Function/Uses
 The site serves as the only free
sport centre for the students.
However, due to the lack of
facilities and hot weather, it does
not reach the goal of encouraging
every student to be involved in
sports within the campus.
Access/circulation
 Vehicular access to the site is Jalan
Taylor’s road along the east side that
leads to the open car park facing the
site. Students can reach the site by
walking through the parking space.
The site is easily accessed.
Only a few students are playing at the court. The audiences
have no comfortable places to sit on.
A large car park facing the site makes it a strategic
place for a better recreation area.

6. 6
Climate& Temperature
 The site is moderately hot and extremely sultry all year round. It is cooler
in the early morning (6-8am) and late evening (6-8pm), with temperature
about 28oC and warmer at afternoon (12-2pm), with temperature about
30oC. In average, the site is exposed to maximum sunlight throughout the
entire year.
Man-made feature& Movable furniture
 1 roofed basketball court, ½ futsal court, court windscreen, concrete
columns, concrete pot plants, 1 small drain, under roof lightings, water
taps, small dustbins, 1 vending machine, drinking water machines and 1
advertisement board.
 Notes: There is a broken water tap and bad odour coming from the drains
which are needed to be looked into.

In this mini sports stadium development, students will be provided a better
environment for sports, training and exercising. This mini indoor stadium consists
of 2 storeys, with a basketball court on the ground floor; a futsal court and a
badminton court on the first floor. Therefore, different types of games can be
played simultaneously.
On the ground floor, 4 team benches of 3 levels of seats each are set at
both sides of the basketball court. There is a scorer table and 2 score boards
situated at the centre of both sides too. Audiences can fully enjoy the facilities
provided when a match is held. Besides, there are athletes’ locker and rest room
provided as well, with different genders separated. Each of them are supplied
with 3 shower room, 11 dual door lockers, 2 benches, toilets, sinks and dustbins.
There are public toilets for both male and female too.
On the first floor, both courts are accompanied by 4 team benches each.
Similar to the basketball court, scorer tables and score boards are provided as
well. The badminton court and futsal court is separated by a net windscreen for
safety purposes. A storeroom is built near to the badminton court. 20 dual door
lockers are provided for personal sports equipment storage. Public rest rooms
and Muslim prayers places are built at the left side of the floor.
There are 3 sliding doors as main entrances at the ground floor and 2
main staircases to access. 2 smaller emergency staircases and 2 emergency
exits are provided too. Since the site is facing the opened big car park, there
would be minimal problem of accessing the mini stadium.

Concept
This construction plan is designed on a 30m x 30m site in Taylor’s
University Lakeside Campus. It is conceived as a sports stadium with 3 kinds of
courts, providing sufficient spaces for students to enjoy some popular indoor
sports games, including basketball, futsal and badminton. Small games
competitions or matches can be held as complete facilities are provided.
Taylor’s Mini Sports Stadium is a recreation centre which is planned to be
constructed using sustainable construction materials, so generally it is eco-
friendly and causes minimal environmental problems. The outside view of this
plan is unique, with red bricked wall and cuboid shaped appearance. It would be
one of the identities of Taylor’s University Lakeside Campus.

Rationale and Benefits
Taylor’s Mini Sports Stadium is to be built for many reasons and benefits.
First, the location of our site is strategic; with free car parking spaces that makes
access and circulation of the site very convenient.
This construction plan is targeting mainly on the students in Taylor’s
University. It serves free and comfortable sports facilities for them, hence
encouraging them to be more active in sports, not only brings benefits for
themselves but also for the university.
Sports not only empower youth and promote higher self-esteem, it also
motivates students, enables them to earn better grades. Other than that, sports
have a great way of uniting communities with local colleges. The more success a
sports team has, the more opportunities there are for drawing in members of the
community. This will help boost tuition and local support. It also offer a powerful
community outreach tool that showcases the university’s academic programs and
missions.
Overall, this recreational development benefits and comforts the
community in the campus. It can be the outset of another glorious century in
Taylor’s University. Taylor’s Mini Sports Stadium, our hope.

Sustainable Approaches
For the construction of Taylor’s mini indoor stadium, we mainly picked the most
environmental friendly construction materials.
1. The Green Brick
The walls are mainly constructed using clay
bricks, which are green. Green, as in,
environmentally green!
Clay brick is durable. It does not
rust or erode, rot or decay, bend twist or
warp. Once built, brick becomes virtually
weatherproof as it will withstand wind, rain and sun.
Clay bricks are non-combustible and will not assist in the spread of fire;
in actuality, they are fire resistant for up to one hour.
Clay brick is also inedible, so bugs and pests cannot eat it and mould
cannot grow in it.
Superior longevity is another quality of clay brick. The life span of a brick
has been calculated at 100 years, but many 100+ year old buildings are still in
existence today. This means that brick are not replaced as frequently as other
building materials.

15. 15
Clay brick walls are energy efficient– especially in climates that have
daily temperature fluctuations. Even though clay brick provides little insulation, it
creates thermal mass that can store warmth or cold, reducing indoor temperature
fluctuation.
Inherently eco-friendly, genuine clay brick is manufactured using clay
and shale, two of the most abundant natural materials available. Since clay
occurs naturally it is not harmful to the earth and
remains that way once fashioned into bricks.
Clay bricks do not emit gases, or leach
chemical.
With all of these fantastic traits combined, brick
masonry can play a very important role in creating
environmentally friendly and sustainable buildings.
2. Polypropylene Court Flooring
Our futsal court floor is constructed using
100% recyclable polypropylene and it is smell
less. It is also anti-aging as it can last for 8-10
years, which cut down the maintenance cost. It
has high compression resistance where it can
bear load 2500N and will not break or damage.

16. 16
3. Brick Flooring
Brick flooring is used in this construction for parts
other than the games courts. It comprised of almost
entirely natural clay materials such as shale and
kaolin. Other additives such as barium and
manganese are added to alter the color of the
material.
Brick flooring is long lasting. It is extremely durable and can last for
years without needing much in the way of maintenance or repair. This means
that there will be fewer resources and materials expended in the uptake, or
replacement of these installations.
Brick flooring is low in maintenance. Because brick flooring is generally
resistant to stains, the only cleaning required will be regular sweeping or
vacuuming to remove loose debris that accumulates on its surface. In the rare
case that a stain does occur, harsh chemical cleansers are available for treating
the issue.

17. 17
4. LED Floor Light
At night when the sun goes down and
everything goes black, our stadium is
lighted up with colourful LED lights,
another sustainable way to comfort the
environment.
Colour Profile- LEDs are available in a whole range of colours for any
lighting situation.
Less heat produced- LEDs produce very little heat and do not add to an
environment's temperature. Due to their low heat output they are also safer and
have a lower chance of starting an accidental fire.
Less energy consumption- LEDs use only a fraction of the power which
can lead to huge savings each month. They are also better for the environment
as they reduce the carbon footprint of those who use them through lower power
consumption.
Long Lasting- LEDs can burn for a
staggering 60,000 hours. Therefore,
Installation of LED will help cutting down the
maintenance cost.

Conclusion
Overall, this project helps us to be able to explain the need to coordinate
and develop an understanding of coherent working relations among various
industry players and to improve the communication channels. We are now able
to document our observations and understanding from research resources as
well as to communicate our findings in a systematic and convincing presentation
and reports.
However, the most important part is we learn about the role of building
team players in construction industry, including the client/employer, consultants
(architects, quantity surveyors, engineers etc.), builders, suppliers and local
authorities. We learn to appreciate their works and roles played in contributing to
our natural and built environment.
