Green Elements
As a technical university, UMP is more inclined to design modern and high-tech buildings while incorporating green building features into every development project. The fact that UMP is located along the coastline that receives strong northeast monsoon wind that can cause corrosion problems requires the selection of appropriate design and materials during the planning and construction process. Despite these constraints, UMP is doing its utmost to incorporate green elements into every development project and implements initiatives that benefit its associates such as rainwater catchment systems, natural lighting and ventilation, and container buildings.
