Aimed to be the first university in Malaysia to achieve a GBI Platinum index, the University College of Technology Sarawak campus is drawn with futuristically design in mind with state of the art facilities.

Appointed and trusted by the architect, NS BlueScope Lysaght Malaysia team was assigned the task to achieve the near-impossible result of matching the designer’s bold and state-of-the-art roofing for one of the most prestigious University in Sarawak. The 360 Seam® roofing, in particular, had presented many challenges to the manufacturer as well as the installer.

The oculus, serving as an elliptical cone to collect rainwater, and the clamshell, used to produce the effect of a vast waterfall gushing into a pond below, prove to test Lysaght team’s skills and machine capabilities to the limits. The beautiful 3-dimensional curve effect requires each piece of the roofing sheet to be customized and rolled on the construction site with precise measurement of the cross-sections of each piece of roofing sheet in term of curvature, length and width.

With constant communication with the client and excellent work of NS BlueScope Lysaght Malaysia's technical team, highly skilled roll on-site team and the installer, the astonishing task was completed successfully without compromising quality and safety standards of NS BlueScope Lysaght.
