Design and construction according to sustainable standards, reflecting environmental, structural and user-centric considerations

University of Dhaka ensures that all new buildings and major renovations are designed and constructed according to sustainable standards, reflecting environmental, structural, and user-centric considerations. Key initiatives include:

  • Centenary Monument at Mol Chottor (2024): Integrated sustainable features such as pedestrian-friendly walkways, bicycle stands, and green landscaping to reduce carbon footprint and encourage non-motorized transport.
  • Modern student accommodations: Buildings such as Bijoy Ekattor Hall, Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Hall, Rokeya Hall (7th March building), and Sufia Kamal Hallincorporate energy-efficient design, proper ventilation, natural lighting, and eco-friendly materials to ensure comfort while minimizing environmental impact.
  • Faculty and staff housing: New residential projects follow similar principles with attention to energy efficiency, water conservation, and long-term durability.
  • Campus-wide sustainability planning: All new constructions are reviewed by university planning committees in consultation with architects, engineers, and local authorities to ensure alignment with broader environmental goals, heritage preservation, and pedestrian-friendly campus design.

Through these measures, University of Dhaka promotes sustainable construction, environmental responsibility, and enhanced user experience, aligning with global best practices for campus development.
