Comments:
It is a critical approach to draw future campus plan with students who are the major stakeholder on campus to increase users’ satisfaction as well as to make themselves attach to school. In addition, such program that faculties and students proceeds with collaboration in the course is considered one proposal that dedicates to promote sustainable facility maintenance by developing human resources for facility maintenance, perception change among administrative organization, incentive designed to improve skills, and retaining personnel for related field. The contents as well as outcome of the program are also highly evaluated. It is expected to validate the effect brought by the course towards creation of the campus.
