Each aspect was carefully considered, from technical lab setups to classroom configurations, to optimize functionality and enhance the learning environment. Through innovative design solutions, we ensured a conducive and dynamic space for hands-on learning. Additionally, our team collaborated closely with stakeholders to ensure seamless integration of the facility with its surroundings, including providing an exterior car washing area for practical application.
