The joint parking building will consist of three floors, with a total capacity of 1,110 motor vehicles: 380 on the first floor, 280 on the second floor, and 450 on the third floor. The facility will include three restrooms on each floor and will be equipped with elevators and CCTV. “We ask for the blessings and support of the Rector and UNDIP officials so that the construction can proceed smoothly according to the target,” concluded Dr. Hari.
