Situated in the Rangsit-Patumthani area, a suburb north of Bangkok, the Bangkok University (BU) campus sits on an east west axis, with Vibhawadee-Rangsit highway at the eastern entrance.


The campus is designed in 4 zones. Zone 1 and 2 to the east are dedicated to academic buildings, while sports facilities can be found at zone 3. Zone 4, to the west, is the residential and recreational area, as well as the future campus entrance with the new mass transit line currently under construction there.


A49 and affiliates of the 49GROUP started working with the university, covering all aspects of design since 1997 and have since continuously designed over a dozen buildings to date.
