First of all, as a writer, I just want to say congratulation for the opening Bussiness School of UPH building at the northern side of campus complex. The Campus with 13 floor will not just use by students from faculty of economic but also share with other technical faculty. During the festival which held once a year at 15 August to welcome new student is very attractive. UPH admit that this new academic year able to “recruit” 2,500 students. According to preliminary information, campus especially the business school should get 1,000 of new students due to close the highly operational cost.
Complain
“The building outlook is wonderfull”. But eventough wonderfull, actually the building is still in developing progress. According to my point of view, as the spectator, I got some conclusion that the building safety was somekind dispute. Just about few days ago, there is report that a student trapped inside the elevator that suddenly stop at the certain floor. She could get out from the elevator after manually open the elevator door. Another incident was one of the lecture trapped for a while in the elevator a days after.
No further information and clarification from the developer and campus due to this matter.
Until now the building has not been fully handed over by developer to UPH due to their progress. No clarification information due to this delayed.
UPH(University of Pelita Harapan), one of the biggest university in Lippo Karawaci now owned by Lippo Group family has succeed implemented online registered for students who want to registered college subject. The implementation go effectively at may, 2008. Now, student needs not to take along queue to meet their academic counselor for choosing and approving their selected subject. About a years ago, long queue were happened before the online registration succeed implemented in economic faculty and come to quite a mess eventough not turn out chaos after the manual registration failed due to computer failure. Meanwhile 2 new store high building were in progress. One of them will be ready to occupant this August,2008 and might dedicated for economic faculty students number grow faster than the other faculty around the campus.
This new building will have about 14 floors. The development progress are backwards for few months ahead. The building should be ready earlier this year. One internal source said that the owner was changing the blue print especially for the interior design caused the delay. Because of changing blue print, developer was requesting new price scheme for the owner. But there is no furher information the delay caused by financial problem.
The building will equipped with some new technology to support teaching and learning.
Meanwhile the new teachers college building beside the 14 stores building will occupant by students from teachers college. There is no further information about it.
Demanding for parking lot building
After interviewing and collecting information from both students, we assumed that UPH lacked of sheltered parking lot. Even, few of them are demanding for parking lot building. Unsheltered parking lot made them difficult to reach their vehichle during rainy or shinny season. Sometimes the sunlight could burn skin during days. Unsheltered vehicle for a long time will also damaging the car.
Electronic Education learning
It’s one of the campus promises and until now it’s look like only few of them has been done. One of them is e-learning. Student need not to attend physical meeting but can meet their lecture through the net. The student will receive and communicate their lesson/study with the lecture through the net. but due to unprepared infrastructure, the kind of study was delay for furher information. Meanwhile the students were also not ready and prepare for the kind of study.
