Malaysia's State-of-the-Art Modern-Tropical University Campus

Taylor's Lakeside Campus Set To Open In 2010!








The commencement of work for the RM450 million Taylor's Lakeside Campus in early 2007 is indeed an exciting phase in the 40-year-old history of Taylor's, and underscores its continued commitment to self-development. It marks another major milestone for the institution, where great strides have been made since 1969.

The Lakeside Campus will house all existing tertiary programmes under one roof. Set on 27 acres of tropical greenery near Jalan PJS 7/5, the campus is surrounded by a revived 5.5 acre man-made lake, as well as a landscape of water plants, trees and flowering shrubs, and groundcover that provides a rich and stimulating natural environment in the neighbourhood.

The completion of Taylor's Lakeside Campus is another step forward towards realising Taylor's mission to become a university of 20,000 students renowned for its teaching excellence and the distinctive quality of its graduates.

From the Main Drop-off down the Grand Staircase, proceed to the University Square and Amphitheatre. This popular and important gathering area will be flanked by the Commercial Block, Residences and Hotel on the west, Administration Offices, Student Union and a Multi-Purpose Hall on the north, Academic Blocks on the east and the lake on the south.

Plays, recitals and other performances will be staged at the 'Art Precinct', formed by the Experimental Theatre, the 600-pax Auditorium, 300-pax Lecture Theatre and the outdoor Amphitheatre. The pride of the campus will undeniably be the Library, a splendid 4-storey glass edifice that warrants panoramic views of the lake.

Sheltered, landscaped promenades will provide easy access to scores of world-class facilities. Restaurants, culinary suites and housekeeping suites for the Hospitality, Tourism and Culinary Arts faculty. Fully-equipped laboratories for advancing skills and knowledge in Science, Computer, Audio and Video, Engineering and Architecture, Building and Design. A Moot Court for lawyers to practice making a case.

The beautiful new Taylor's Lakeside Campus will provide all the right conditions for a vibrant exchange between academic, commercial, social and leisure activities. More than just a home to the student population, it will be the nurturing ground for an energetic and dynamic new community.

Taylor's Lakeside Campus will be the vehicle for Taylor's to further enhance the delivery of its purpose, which is to educate the youth of the world to take their productive place as leaders in the global community.
