FCH was designed with a modern interior in order to create a creative learning environment and present innovative and applicable learning models.
“There are 3 to 4 corners which can be used for making a teaching/learning video. We also provide a pantry, coffee maker, discussion space, as well as reading corner. Later, several book references will also be added to the hub, to make it more comfortable,” he said.
Unpas FISIP’s public relation staff is ready to help facilitate the learning/teaching video process. With the updated space layout, it is expected to improve students’ learning motivation.

Apart from FCH, FISIP also plans to build a sky-bridge facility which connects the area above the Administration Room to the Department of Communication Studies.
“Later, the sky-bridge will pass through the library, so students can enjoy their reading time in outdoor space. We hope it could be real soon,” he said.
Unpas Vice Rector II, Dr. Ir. Yudi Garnida, MP., appreciated the idea of establishing the FCH which can be used for doing research, development, learning and create new prototypes.

To fulfil campus’ facility and infrastructure, Campus I Lengkong is currently preparing for constructing of multi-storey parking lots and renovation of mosques. Currently, the permit process is still ongoing considering that the development area is adjacent to the Cikapundung river.
