SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities

Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable

MCU is a walkable campus with 38,200 sqm open fields and green spaces. It has open and covered walkways, connecting buildings and allowing pedestrians to walk safely. Open grounds use brick pavers that allows water to seep through and be absorbed by the soil beneath.

MCU on Sustainable Cities and Communities

I. Support of Arts and Heritage

Arts and Heritage Contribution

MCU Chorale is a student organization within the university composed of talented students who have a passion for singing. They serve as the university's official choir performing at various institutional events such as graduation ceremonies, recognition programs, and other special events.

Beyond campus, MCU Chorale also represents the university in public and community events.

II. Sustainable Practices

Remote Working

MCU allows remote working for employees as a matter of policy or standard practice, or offer a condensed working week to reduce employee commuting.

Sustainable Practices Measurements

The university measures the number of vehicles that are managed by the university and vehicles entering and exiting the university through the RFID System, which limits the registrants to 1,200 users only.

Promote Sustainable Commuting

To promote a more sustainable and eco-friendly campus, several initiatives have been implemented to reduce parking spaces and encourage greener modes of transportation. Parking within the campus is intentionally limited to 200 slots to minimize vehicle use and reduce carbon emissions. Two electric golf carts serve as campus shuttles, providing students and staff with a convenient and emission-free way to travel around the university. To further promote sustainable mobility, bicycle use is highly encouraged through the provision of secure and accessible bike parking areas.

Pedestrian Priority on Campus

MCU places strong emphasis on pedestrian safety, accessibility, and comfort within its campus. Clearly designated pedestrian pathways, marked with visible signage and maintained regularly, ensure safe and convenient movement for all campus users. These walkways are strategically designed to connect essential areas such as classrooms, offices, laboratories, dormitories, and recreational spaces.

New Building Standards

MCU ensures that building and renovating new buildings adheres to sustainable standards. This includes adhering to the smart building implementation, focused on use of water and energy-efficient appliances such as water-saving faucets and toilets, LED lights, and energy saving air conditioner.
