In erecting buildings, their future capacities must be taken into account, in addition to the measurements to accommodate the current population of teachers and students.
Calculations must be made in advance to accept the rising number of students based on estimated annual student population growth.
Also, a program to improve the design and appearance of the university and systematic nurturing programs for beautifying the campus with thriving plants must be implemented.
Careful survey is needed in planting saplings of large-tree species for their long-term growth. As this year’s open season has arrived, all drainage systems must be completed before the onset of the coming year’s monsoon.
