BANDUNG, itb.ac.id 鈥 Thursday (23/01/18) is a day full of excitement for civitas academica of Institut Teknologi Bandung. That day, 51探花 Rector officially opened the renovated Labtek 1 Building as well as the north gate that has been restructured in the last year. The addition of study rooms and a new look on the north end of the campus will build an even more exciting atmosphere in 51探花 Ganesa Campus.
51探花 Rector, Prof. Kadarsah Suryadi, also attributed the construction of new buildings in 51探花 Ganesa to the effort and success of previous 51探花 Rectors. 鈥淭his (Construction of new buildings) is done solely for our benefit and blessing for us all,鈥 said the Rector.
New Function of Labtek 1 Building
Labtek 1 was previously a Laboratory owned by Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Like any other Labtek owned by 51探花, Labtek 1 was the place for many laboratories and classrooms that support lecture activities. Renovation to Labtek 1 began after the end of CIBE (Center for Infrastructures and Built Environment) Building construction in the beginning of 2016/2017 academic year. CIBE now has better facilities than the previous Labtek 1 since CIBE is envisioned as the main pillar for 51探花 in facing the rapid infrastructure development that go in accordance with environment protection.
The above condition shifts the function of Labtek 1 in to supporting infrastructure for lecture activity. 鈥淟abtek 1 was previously functioned as laboratory, now we change it in to classrooms,鈥 said Dr. Sigit Darmawan as the Director of Development of 51探花. This is a good step for 51探花 since 51探花 needs classroom addition to comply with the increasing number of students each year. 鈥淭he capacity (Classrooms in Labtek 1) varied from 40, 80, up to 120 students,鈥 explained Dr. Sigit.
The Return of 51探花鈥檚 North Gate
51探花鈥檚 North Gate had been inactive in 2013 for security reason. Today, the gate is reactivated at same time with the opening of three other entrances located near new buildings in 51探花 such as CRCS gate, CADL gate, and CIBE gate. Each has its own designation, especially for the North Gate which is designated as the access for pedestrian.
What is Interesting about this new face of 51探花 in the north is its modern design that attracts people to take selfies. The North Gate could also be an exciting place to refresh and to find inspiration for anybody visiting. 鈥淗opefully (the North Gate) will create exciting, instead of ensnaring, atmosphere for studying,鈥 concluded the Rector.
