TAYLOR’S UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LAKESIDE CAMPUS

Malaysia’s First Modern-Tropical University Campus

I was browsing through my friend Marcus's Blog and the Taylor's University College main website and I found this! Taylor's University College New Campus! Unfortunately, we all will not be studying in this new campus, SAD!! sobs! :(

In response to the ever-pressing need for knowledgeable human capital, Taylor’s University College is building a state-of-the art modern tropical university campus to meet the need of students and in line with the nation’s goal of becoming a regional center of education excellence.

The unveiling of the RM450 million Taylor’s Lakeside Campus plans recently comes at an exciting phase in Taylor’s 38-year-old history and underscores its continued commitment to self-development. It marks another milestone in Taylor’s history where great strides have been made since 1969. It is no coincidence that the completion of Phase 1 in 2009 heralds the occasion of Taylor’s 40th anniversary.

The Lakeside Campus will house all existing tertiary programmes, currently located at Taylor’s various campuses in Subang Jaya and Petaling Jaya. Set on 27 acres of tropical greenery near Jalan PJS 7/5, the campus will be surrounded by a revived 5.5 acre man-made lake, as well as a landscape of water plants, trees and flowering shrubs and groundcover which will provide a rich and stimulating natural environment in the neighbourhood.

Earthwork for the Lakeside Campus has started in February 2007 following the Unveiling Ceremony that was graced by the Deputy Prime Minister, Dato’ Sri Haji Mohd Najib Tun Haji Abdul Razak. The first phase is aimed for completion in July 2009. Completion is expected by July 2009, and will cater to 4,000 students for the year 2010.
