Heriot-Watt University Malaysia?s purpose-built campus opened to students in Putrajaya in September 2014 and the formal launch took place on 12 February 2015. The ?35m campus sits on 4.8 acres in a stunning lakeside location providing exceptional educational facilities in an excellent environment, close to the Putrajaya marina and its modern leisure and sports facilities. This is a fantastic green area, part of Putrajaya Lake?s ?green continuum?, and the building design is a conscious reference.
