According to the town's needs, the site has been divided into 10 separate zones in a practical and accessible layout. In the SUT, placemaking is used to create great spaces for the general populace. It deepens people's ties to such areas. Individuals and their needs, ambitions, interests, and visions are at the core of place distribution, which is highly depended on community engagement.

The location is around 20 kilometers northwest of General Santos. SOCCSKSARGEN is a well-known location for its many cultures. The planned layout of the SUT attempts to bridge the gap between culture sensitivity and the learning environment, since the region is known as the "Land of the Dreamweavers" owing to its vibrant culture.

The layout of the SUT corresponds to the values, ideals, and character of the people around the site, which adapts to the culture and tradition of the area. Also, it boosts the location's economy by bringing fortune, employment, and possibilities through a diversified and imaginative design.

The project's design concept emphasizes on architecture of connectivity and its role in creating a university town that is culturally sensitive and as wells as fosters an effective learning environment for students. With this it also improves the region's economic standing through the planned university town.

BUS FLOW OF TRAFFIC THE ROUTE OF THE BUS IS DEPICTED BY THE YELLOW LINES. THESE YELLOW LINES REPRESENT TRAVEL LANES THAT ARE WIDE ENOUGH FOR A BUS TO PASS THROUGH. THE SAID LANE HAS A SPAN OF 3M EACH TO ACCOMMODATE TRANSIT VEHICLES. THE DESIGNERS OPTED TO LIMIT THE ROUTE OF BUSES AND RESTRICT THEM FROM GOING INTO THE PRIVATE ZONES FOR SAFETY IMPLICATIONS. THE LAYOUT OF THE STREETS SERVES A VARIETY OF TRAVEL NEEDS DEPENDING ON WHICH CARRIES THROUGH THE HEAVY TRAFFIC; THE DESIGNERS OPTED TO ENLARGE THE HIGHWAY PROVIDING A 4 LANE ROAD FOR HEAVY TRAFFIC AND 2 LANE ROAD FOR LIGHT TRAFFIC.

PEDESTRIAN FLOW OF TRAFFIC THE SPACES AROUND THE UNIVERSITY TOWN IS CONNECTED THROUGH A SERIES OF SIDEWALKS AND PATHWAY. THE SIDEWALKS ARE DESIGNED IN A WAY THAT ENHANCES WALKABILITY AND PRIORITIZES SAFETY BY PROVIDING A HIGHVISIBILITY TREATMENT AT ALL UNCONTROLLED CROSSING LOCATIONS. FURTHERMORE, THE SIDEWALKS WILL HAVE ADEQUATE SPACE. THIS WAS MADE IN ORDER TO PROVIDE A QUALITY PEDESTRIAN ENVIRONMENT AND BE INCLUSIVE IN A WAY THAT PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES CAN SAFELY AND COMFORTABLY USE THE SIDEWALKS AND PATHWAYS, CREATING A SPACE WHERE IT IS INCLUSIVE AND APPEALING AT THE SAME TIME.

04

CAR AND MOTOR VEHICLE FLOW OF TRAFFIC CARS AND MOTOR VEHICLES HAVE ALL THE ACCES OF THE UNIVERSITY LANES EXCEPT TO SOME AREAS BOUNDED BY CAMPUSES TO WHICH REQUIRES WALKING ON FOOT. THIS WAS PLANNED IN ORDER TO DISCOURAGE THE USAGE OF MOTOR VEHICLES AND ENCOURAGE WALKING AND TRAVELING BY FOOT. NONETHELESS, THE MOTOR VEHICLES FLOW OF TRAFFIC CONSIDERS THE FLOW OF PEOPLE. AS TRAFFIC IS THE RESULT OF THE MOVEMENT OF PEOPLE AND GOODS, THE PRINCIPLE OF THE HIERARCHY OF STREET IS USED, THE PERFORMANCE OF DIFFERENT LEVELS OF SPEED THAT PROVIDES DIFFERENT LEVELS OF ACCESS WAS TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION. HENCEFORTH, THE LAYOUT OF THE STREETS SERVES A VARIETY OF TRAVEL NEEDS DEPENDING ON WHICH CARRIES THROUGH THE HEAVY TRAFFIC, THE DESIGNERS OPTED TO ENLARGE THE HIGHWAY PROVIDING A 4 LANE ROAD FOR HEAVY TRAFFIC AND 2 LANE ROAD FOR LIGHT TRAFFIC.

BICYCLE FLOW OF TRAFFIC THE UNIVERSITY TOWN OFFERS A VARIETY OF MODES OF TRANSPORTATION TO SERVE MORE PEOPLE IN THE AREA THAT ALLOWS PEOPLE TO BE MORE FLEXIBLE IN THEIR PREFERRED MODE OF TRAVEL, AND BY THIS, THE DESIGNERS PROVIDE BICYCLE LANES ON EVERY ROAD. EACH CYCLE TRACK IS PROTECTED BY BUFFERED CYCLE LANES TO ENSURE A SAFER ENVIRONMENT FOR THE CYCLIST. DUE TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF BICYCLE LANES ON EVERY ROAD. THE VARIETY OF TRAVEL CHOICES INCREASES, AND THE STREET EXPANDS ITS CAPACITY, LESSENING TRAFFIC AND CATERING TO MORE PEOPLE.

The cultural center, which sits in front of the major roadway, is a feature of the SUT. It raises cultural awareness by allowing people from other tribes to exhibit their own cultures.

HIGHLIGHTS CULTURE PROMOTES HEALTH

ENCOURAGES ACTIVE RELAXATION IMPROVES NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTER

The campus heart serves as a communal leisure place for people of all ages, races, and cultures, encouraging social connections and generation of new ideas.

SUPPORT MIXED-USE DISTRICTS

TRACK GROWTH AND EMPLOYMENT

SERVES AS A CATCH BASIN

PROMOTES RESEARCH & LEARNING

In consideration of the slope, the recreational park serves as a sunken garden where water drifts all through the rainy season.

COMPACT DEVELOPMENT

Compact construction surrounding transit stations cuts traffic, improves air quality, conserve open space, promotes economic vibrancy, and develops walkable neighborhoods.

PROMOTES LEARNING AND COLLABORATIVE WORK

GIVES IMPORTANCE TO RELIGION

Places of worship are usually situated in residential and educational areas to make them accessible to both students and locals. In a culturally sensitive location, the community places a high value on religion.

INCREASE VEGETATION AND SUPPLY

Residential zones encourages the occupants to be involved in agricultural activities where production of food and vegetation may increase.

When it comes to the arrangement of spaces in the university town, it aspires to create a livable learning enclave for both students and town dwellers, where every place is walkable and satisfies their diverse needs. For the benefit of the community, each zone is strategically situated.

The cultural center and the educational areas that surround it are the SUT's most distinctive features. It builds a link between the institution and the unique culture of the region by putting the cultural center at the forefront of the town.

The power line layout was a loop intended to supply power to all buildings on site. An intersecting power line was also placed to be connected to the existing power lines surrounding the site. Adjacent to these lines is also the ITC Lines. The designers propose to have an underground cabling system for both power supply and ITC lines.
