An added benefit to using the natural lake as a reservoir is the increased flora and faun and an overall reduction in the micro climate. Bio-Diversity: - The Campus is designed to host and create a green zone with a human and nature connection (Biophilia hypothesis). The tropical climate lends itself very well to a diverse range of flora and fauna. The vegetation on the campus will be populated with a wide variety of native plants sourced locally or within the ASEAN region and a walking tour encompassing the natural lake and the green zone has also been implemented. Building Management System (BMS) : - In order to operate the building at maximum efficiency Building Management Solution (BMS) software was incorporated in the design. BMS software has been included to manage scheduled operations of artificial lighting, ACMV and other tasks. Software chosen was \u201cOPTERGY\u201d due to the scheduling requirements for the radiant cooling system. A few design strategies were incorporated to further optimise efficiencies from the use of the BMS software. a.) The artificial \/ electrical lighting installation within the classrooms followed the seating arrangement. These lights were installed perpendicular to the windows above the row of seats, this enabled a whole row of lights to be turned off when not in use with a single switch. External daylight sensors controlled by BMS will automatically operate the row of lights depending on daylight availability, further to minimise light spillage and pollution, astronomical timers will automatically operate the external lighting. b.) Operation of the radiant cooling system and lighting in all classrooms and laboratories during scheduled university hours are scheduled automatically by this BMS software and during non-scheduled use the facilities team will manually enable the required systems.","PROGRESS AT SITE","10 PROGRESS AT SITE Earthworks & Building platform","10 Earthworks Start of earthworks Visualizing","10 Site shaping Foundation & Sub-Structure works","10 Main Entrance South East Elevation Engineering School \u2013 North Wing M&E Installation First Fix Architectural Finishes Installations","10 Super Structure Construction Sub-Structure Super Structure Construction","WASTE MANAGEMENT JUSTIFICATION","11 WASTE MANAGEMENT JUSTIFICATION Waste Management: - Waste Management in design had incorporated reduce, reuse and recycle strategies, significant reductions in new materials were achieved, in addition by finalizing design specifications ahead of implementation, material wastage during construction was also reduced sizably.

AZMIL ABDUL AZMI catering to possibly up 25,000 students by the year 2025 with the flagship buildings to be up and running by 15 September 2012. Subsequently, through a series of interviews ATSA APAM, Associate Director & HOD of Project Architects Sdn Bhd impressed the Indians enough amongst a group of 5 architectural firms [email protected] and was appointed as the architect and the key consultant in Sept 2011. The story of MIU began. THE VISION: THE GREENEST GREEN The vision for MIU and the objectives were laid out. The MANIPAL EDUCATION GROUP led by two key persons Dr Ranjan Pai, the grandson of the founder TMA Pai and Mr Mohandas Pai, a key figure for Manipal and INFOSYS who apired to : \u2022 Establish a world class tertiary institution of learning with the highest of quality in the faculty and the built environment \u2022 Focus on offering Indians best brains and pedigree heritage to Malaysia in Engineering, Design and Business studies and Postgraduate education. We were told that the Manipal institutions in India are second only to Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in the field of engineering studies. \u2022 Achieve the highest LEED PLATINUM rating, in the most recognized green rating system i.e. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) for the campus and all its buildings and parts within. In short, the stakeholders dreamed of creating a truly green university with the highest of aspirations and with a target opening of its doors by September 2012.","13 07 THE SCOPE OF WORKS: Everything IN BETWEEN This was indeed a challenge to ATSA Architects Sdn Bhd and its team. Immediately we needed to define the scope of works and deliverables clearly. The scope of works covered 65 acres of land size with almost 1,000,000m3 of earth to be graded with originally two buildings i.e. The School of Engineering and The Student Union of almost 450,000 sq ft completed for a target of 500 students by Sept 15 2012. That\u2019s only about 12 months including design, submission. It was an extremely fast construction period of 9 months. A tall order indeed. . The Site The MANIPAL Education Group had bought a total of 145 acres of land in Nilai, Negeri Sembilan for this new campus. Nilai is accessible by the North South highway heading southbound in approximately 45 minutes from Kuala Lumpur. The scope apart from the buildings included the infrastructure portions, the access road systems in an undulating site that varied from RL 52 m to RL 108 m as well as featuring a natural water body that will was regarded as the key features of MIU in coming up with the architectural concept. PHASE 1","13 07 The Birth of Concept : Romanticizing of Stanford University : Everything IN BETWEEN What followed soon was a rigorous and aggressive keeping up with deadlines of completing this new icon in the education landscape within 9 months. It was pivotal for the team to come up with the concept design and the master planning for the entire campus and get it approved in a workshop session with the key stakeholders. Our dealings with the Clients was directly with Dr Ranjan Pai, the grandson of the founder for Manipal University based in India, his trusted and knowledgeable partner Mr Mohandas Pai, a well known figure in the IT world particularly INFOSYS who played the synergistic and a catalyst to the ideals of MIU , Dato Iskandar Mizal Mahmood, the Malaysian partner was brought in as the local know how ,who will together with the team realized this dream. The first milestone was achieving the overall concept over a two day interaction and discourse in Sept 2011. In the two afternoons on 27 and 28 September 2011, in the board meeting room in KL Sentral, what transcended at the 7th floor was the feeling of almost being in love, enamored by the avenue of palm trees, the main entrance to Stanford University, California. Yes, we all wanted to be greeted by a similar experience of avenue of palm trees and also the romantic idea of having a courtyard with water feature or a fountain, just like Stanford University. The initial sketches hinted more towards the classical architectural language mixed with Mediterranean arches and order of colonnaded walkways. Thus the concept for MIU was born. An idea that include \u2022 The master planning and ordering of buildings for the entire campus focuses the entrance axis which later and coincidentally aligned and positioned facing Mecca, the direction prayers for Muslims in Malaysia. \u2022 The interpretation of Stanford University renowned for its mix of Mediterranean and Classical architecture will be timeless grounded on the principle of sustainable design. A signature building for MIU was the objective, if you will. \u2022 The main building, i.e. School of Engineering sited prominently on a green plateau as you approach the avenue of trees towards the oval ring road \u2022 It is within this oval ring road that the main building sits proudly, with its two arms hugging the beautifully designed natural and central green courtyard that overlooks the 10 acre lake.","13 07 The Orange Rush The next few months from the birth of concept was a rush of the submissions and tender preparations. A process that normally takes 4-6 months \u2013 all compressed in half the time . The submissions to authorities had to occur almost concurrently involving at least 8 parties whilst the preparations for tender was ongoing. The construction involved mainly three parts the earthworks , infrastructure and the two buildings. The numbers were staggering. Drawings were hot commodities and \u201cfresh from the ovens\u201d Work In Progress As the project progressed, the client and consultants assessed the realities in achieving what was possible and with all these high aspirations, it was clear that the goal post had to be redefined and managed which allowed for partial completion. Change and the dynamics of project were almost unreal to the team. What needed to happen was many ,many processes happening simultaneously. Earthworks and infrastructure was designed and called within 3 weeks after the concept was accepted. The only way to deal with it was to take one at a time and understand the priorities. The submission was done on 14 October 2011 and tender was called with something new called the Guaranteed Maximum Price- a mode of contract favored in the United States. This would protect the Client and a workable concept provided that the drawings and the specifications were enough to give the assurance to the bidding parties. In the end, the client and team found a way to award to Putra Perdana Construction dated 26 Dec 2011 employing PAM 2006 the contract based on provisional quantities instead. As the Sept 15 2012 deadline looms, the key factor for the team - the Client and consultants was the ability to manage change in the best way possible and sometimes in unorthodox manner. Admittedly, there were times when the team was tested to its limits time and again on whether the decisions made were the right ones as the processes where dependent inputs from many parties. Everyone in team needed to adopt a pragmatic approach and exercise extreme flexibility. All responses and decisions were measured and questioned with a sense of moving forward and definitely with the spirit that a decision had to be made with best of knowledge at that time.","13 07 Going for PLATINUM One key goal was achieving the LEED PLATINUM rating and the team was only able to make the critical design decisions only after 3 months into the construction. Our Environment Sustainable Design consultant was appointed in late Feb 2012 which meant that the it became clear that MIU objectives could only be achieved with the right balance of good passive and active design. This simply translated to design reviews and changes while the construction was on going. Amazing when you think about it. The experience could only be summed up on the the saying - Where there s a will there's a way. The Journey has just only begun\u2026.. Today, as I relate the journey in this writings, it seemed that I have unending stories to share on every little step along the rather hastened yet fulfilling journey. I particularly enjoyed the experiences which involved meeting, working and exchanging ideas and looking at the best practices where possible, with myriad people both from within and outside . I feel that I am blessed and have learnt so much more about myself as professional and how to translate those intangible ideas and feeling of clients into a worthy icon in Malaysia i.e. The Manipal International University Nilai. It was built in a record time and was conceived with the greatest of ideals and synergies. Yes the work is still ongoing particularly with application for the LEED PLATINUM. Most importantly, although the student population has yet reached the desired number, I sincerely hope that this development will be etched in their lives as the beginning of their journey too. I have certainly started mine and I am looking forward to continuing on this MIU journey. I would like to express my thanks and gratitude and professional salute to all the people who have been part of this wonderful journey. I end off with a quote from one of the architectural maestros of the 20th century, which I hope, captures the essence of what is to come. \u201c If your contribution has been vital, there will always be somebody to pick up where you left off, and that will be your claim to immortality \u201c A Quote from Walter Gropius Azmil Abdul Azmi ATSA Architects Sdn Bhd 11June 2013","13 07 PERSONAL VIEW MOHD AZRI B. MAT NOR Most peoples perception towards green architecture was more like the latest innovation, annotation to heat up the discourse of the current architecture environment, they most PROJECT ARCHITECT definately have a wrong understanding. [email protected] MIU is the first green building project undertaken by me and when I was offered the opportunity to be involved as part of the construction team aiming for the highest LEED rating, Platinum as a goal, like most people, I was a bit skeptical. However, being part of the team of consultants and contractors who went the furthest in order to achieve the standard, my perception was later proven to be wrong. Lead by the LEED scales rating, the whole team from the client right down to the construction waste sorter \/ lorry driver, our green initiatives proved that we could all contribute to make a big impact in helping the environment and optimising energy used to operate the campus. Our green design approach had opened up lots of opportunity to explore simple architectural details that defined the facade while at the same time sheltering from the weather. It served us with ample plates of technological advanced materials that were humble enough to exist as part of the building envelope but totally hidden from the viewing eyes. To name just a few, all of the Kalsa bricks, TPO roof covering system, area exposed specificly to DGU glass, wall insulation and lightweight concrete molding forming the building fecade had contributed greatly to the green shell but never appeared overwhelming. Altogether, these materials were rarely used in most of our existing educational building around our country. Adding the highlights was our meticulous energy efficiency approach in getting the correct active green engineering calculations to compliment the architecture. In entirety, this building has all the right green ingredients to become one of the better green building case studies for future educational buildings. Revelations are that these ingredients are now readily available in our country waiting to be utilised by all. This book compilation has lined up all our efforts in achieving that green building.","LANDSCAPE CONCEPT","14 LANDSCAPE CONCEPT Urban Heat Island Effect: - Minimising increased temperatures due to the buildings was a primary concern of the design team and as a result they relied on several passive and active strategies to reduce the Urban Heat Island Effect. The Campus supports an optimal building density leaving parts of the campus for a green zone. The vegetation on the campus will be populated with a wide variety of native vegetation. Several species of rain trees were chosen for their extensive shade to flank the roads at an optimal distance of 7.5 to 10 meters apart to maximise shading to both shoulders of the roads. As artificial surfaces radiate more heat a single pedestrian walkway was chosen instead of two. Concrete which has a higher albedo was chosen for the roads surface, the roofs of all buildings were coated with a highly reflective water proofing layer having a high reflective index. Courtyards were painted with light colours and covered with gravel and stone to maximize reflectivity.","14 Landscape approach & concept","14 Landscape approach & concept","14","14 k) Landscape, trees planting to all paved roads and sidewalks that will help in reducing the heat island effect, keeping the surrounding areas cool. l) All vegetation planted is native, ensuring a highly bio-diverse Campus.
