The End-of-Defects-Liability Inspection for ILIA Building was conducted by the Lead Architect and his team. The group scoured over every tiny detail of the building and M&E works together with the main contractor, M&E contractor and us (Estate Office, UBD).
It has been 5 months and the new ILIA Building (previously known as the Yellow Building or the CIBFM Building) is buzzing with activities. The building is located just near the main entrance into the campus - it will be the first thing you see as you enter the campus grounds. The building is home to the Institute for Leadership, Innovation and Advancement (ILIA), Strategic Quality Assurance and Management Unit (SQAMU), Teaching and Learning Centre (TLC) and Postgraduate Studies and Research Office (PSR). We do love acronyms!
This building is one of the latest new buildings of UBD. By August 2009, it will be the new home for the newly established Institute for Leadership, Innovation and Advancement and other offices of UBD. UBD will be occupying a major part of the ground floor and the whole of second floor. The other areas will be occupied by an external body, Centre for Islamic Banking and Finance (CIBFM). A first for the university in terms of space sharing with an external body. The building is located on the right just as you go into the UBD main entrance before the first roundabout. It has its back to the main road and its front faces the Chancellor Hall.
