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.

as well as business and entrepreneurship studies, focusing strongly on
creativity. BU Diamond symbolizes the University’s vision, as well as marking
