Drama Production at the Lecture Theatre

All I can say it was very entertaining! The lighting crew used innovative ways to create the right ambiance to the stage.  One of the 6 new projects rolled out under the 2007-2012 National Development Plan is the Construction of a Lecture Theatre Complex and a Performance Hall.






Proceeds from the sale of tickets were donated to SMARTER Brunei. Congratulations to the crew and cast of Two Sides of a Coin!

The Green Project is launched during the start of the Convocation Fest 2009 and its main objective is to increase awareness amongst the campus community on environmental, sustainable and green issues. Some of the activities under the Green Project umbrella are the Amazing Race, creation of Bike Parks and Ride-a-Bike at campus drive, Less Plastic campaign and many more.

On campus accommodation


On campus accommodation at Universiti Brunei Darussalam is located just 4 minutes away, by foot from the faculty buildings. The pictures below feature the Female Residential College. In total, there is approximately 700 space for rent to students in both Female and Male Residential College. In my earlier posts, I have featured the currently under construction Residential College.

The rooms are highly popular amongst the UBD students.

The Female Residential College has 6 blocks
and Male Residential College has 4 blocks.

View from the back. Due to the the campus's close proximity to the South China Sea, the inhabitants of the Residential College experience fresh sea breeze nearly all day..


A typical block is a 2 storey block, with the common
facilties such as kitchen and bathrooms in the middle.


A typical kitchen. One for each floor. The Residential Colleges is a
catered facility, although some students do opt to self cater. The eatery is
located within the central area.


A typical prayer room...

Dining area...

This is how a typical room looks like. The pictures
are taken during the long vacation
period ~~ thats why the room look a bit anonymous..
Most students except a for few international students
vacate their room during this long break.
The Estate Office carry out major
repairs and cleaning works during this time.

View from one of the rooms in the ground floor. All rooms are
equipped with a study area, single bed, and a closet.


The University takes safety seriously. These canisters are
found within easy access throughout the accommodation.


A typical bathroom..


All the blocks are equiped with ramps to ensure accesibility for all.
