UNiM Open Day

Went to University of Nottingham Malaysia campus in Semenyih yesterday.
It was UNiM Open Day!

It was a long journey from Klang and there are several route to the destinations.
However, after I missed an Exit, I need to go for another route, that past a total of 6 tolls.
Well, i guess i'll spend other time cursing the tolls.

Reached there after about an hour drive.

Entered the main entrance, you will need to pass some guards there
then there is a roundabout which you can either turnabout to the exit or enter the campus driving around a huge lake.
There are a few fountain in the lake... roughly 2 or 3 there...
It somehow make the scene more "lively" than a huge dull campus.
Not bad.
There is a brige across the lake there.
I think it is a footpath brige, its too far so I didn't walk there. :P


Main Entrance Lake and Fountain

After parking my car near the Student Association (SA) building
there are lots of Open Day sign direct you to the Teaching Center,
you can seek advise or maybe asked for a campus tour.


Open Day Sign

You can probably find lots of this sign in the campus...
as many as the number of security guards...
I wonder they work part time or what...
bCause i really doubt: "do we need this MANY?"


A long corridor

Of course, I went for the campus tour.
It seems MOST of the visitors were new/potential students with their parents. :)

Before joining the tour
Let's briefly take a look on the UNiM map.


UNiM Map

The Legend is incomplete with some of them are empty and blank.

I'll list them out instead:

A - Administration Building
B - Business and Management Building (None of my business)
C - Engineering and Computer Science Building (Labs at groundfloor)
(Pharmarcy student going to share here)
D - Extension of Engineering and Comp Science Faculty (I guess)
E - Not Sure... haha.. But i think it should be an academic building with classrooms and teaching hall...
F - Central Teaching
G - Library (having an odd egg shape)


Legend


I.1, I.2 and I.3 are the student's accomodation buildings.
They're attached with strange name like Tioman, Langkawi and Redang.
Maybe is it main to intro and ad our country's lovely vacation spot to the foreigners.

It would be fun after the Uni starts, when your friends asked you
"Where are you?"
You can answer them:
"I'm in Tioman!"

All the academic buildings are surrounded in circle in a small gap in between.
The design is simply awesome.
Although those buildings aren't really gigantic, but they're certainly what we called:
"although sparrow is small, five internal organs are in there too"
(麻雀虽小，五脏俱全)

The middle of the circle is a fountain. It isn't operation thing anyway.

And the one below is the Engineering and Computer Science Faculty.
RED colour!!!
That's really cool and nice! I love the colour they offered to the faculty.
RED is Liverpool FC's colour. :P


Engineering and Computer Science Faculty


Closer snapshot of the Eng and Comp Sci Building

I wonder what the heck the cylinder tower there for?
If you know.... Please tell me...


Administration Building

Administration Building, there is a "luxurious" looking cafe on the groundfloor, indoors and outdoors.
I wonder students will be allowed to go there?
Without the signboard, I would probably think it is some sort of Starbucks cafe...

Beside the Central Teaching building is the Library and E-Learning centre.
I mean we used to called it ISCRA 1 2 3 when we were in MISC building...


Library

The shape of the Library is really weird, and I don't really like the colour...
What colour we called that anyway? "Yuck!"

Then we have the Student Association building,
where we have those fusball table, and pool table etc gaming stuff.
I didn't saw all those stuff anyway coz i bet they're on the second floor.


SA building

The groundfloor is mainly cafeteria.
The cafe is quite nice but it will be a little to packed, I guess, when the Uni commence...
And i do hope the variety of foods and the quality of food will increase over there.
However, something is certainly going to let me down i guess...
the PRICE... ai...


Inside the cafe

It was kinda dark inside, so I didnt take many shots there...

The tour is rather boring to me...
Cabut!!!
