Dormitories<br />

The Rangsit Center has on-campus dormitories for male and female students. Over 6,200 living units are<br />

available to accommodate students, faculty members, and university staff. Within walking and short-driving<br />

distances, many private dormitories can be found. These are co-ed dormitories, as well as dormitories with<br />

separate buildings for male and female students. Air-conditioned units with bathrooms are also available.<br />

Sport Facilities<br />

The Rangsit Center has a wide range of sport facilities for students including swimming pools and practice<br />

fields for soccer, basketball, volleyball, and tennis, all of which are in the vicinity of the student dormitories.<br />

Areas for indoor sports such as badminton and table tennis are provided in the indoor gymnasiums. Students<br />

may also choose to exercise by biking, jogging, etc., especially in the morning since the air is very refreshing.<br />

Bangkadi Campus<br />

In 1999, FTI, with co-operation from Toshiba Thailand Co., Ltd., and Mitsui & Co. (Thailand), Ltd., provided 5.6<br />

rai (0.9 hectare) of land with an existing office building in the Bangkadi Industrial Park (BIP) for SIIT’s use for<br />

a period of 30 years. Later, SIIT purchased two more parcels of land in the industrial park with areas of 4 rai<br />

(0.64 hectare) and 5 rai (0.8 hectare). The existing building was renovated and enlarged. The new building,<br />

which is called the IT&MT building, has a combined area of approximately 3,300 m 2 . The Computer Science<br />

and Information Technology programs moved to these new facilities in June 2002. <br />

Another 6-story building with an area of 6,452 m 2 was completed in October 2004. Her Royal Highness<br />

Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn graciously granted the use of the name “Sirindhralai” for this new building<br />

and graciously presided over the inauguration of this new building on June 28, 2006. It houses the School of<br />

Information, Computer, and Communication Technology (ICT), the School of Management Technology (MT),<br />

the Library and Information Services Center, the Computer Center, classrooms, and laboratories.<br />

The third SIIT building is the SIIT Administration and Training Building, located in front of the Bangkadi<br />

Industrial Park on Tiwanond Road. It is a four-story building which aims to be a research and training center.<br />

The first floor is for car parking. Bangkok Bank and Thanachart Bank are located on the second floor. On the<br />

third floor is a research and innovation center, namely, “Service and Knowledge Innovation Center” (SAKI).<br />

The aim of this research center is to provide practical training, education, and seminars related to Information<br />

and Communication Technology (ICT) and Management Technology (MT) towards frontier knowledge<br />

innovation and service innovation. A computer laboratory with 30 Mac computers and an intelligent board<br />

system are provided in SAKI for practical training courses.<br />

Computer Center<br />

<br />

A Computer Center office is located on the second floor of the Sirindhralai building. It supervises and<br />

maintains two laboratories for instruction and students’ use in mathematical and statistical problem solving,<br />

computer graphics, systems simulation, database applications and programming, computer networking, and<br />

general computing purposes. In addition, there are network access points in almost every room in the campus<br />

buildings which connect to the Rangsit Campus of SIIT by a high-speed connection. Students can easily access<br />

the Internet either from their notebook computers, using wireless hotspots in every building, or from the<br />

computers in both the library and the computer laboratories.<br />
