Heres a summary of what we discussed in the Q&A with Mr Henry, regarding our move to Amanahraya. Why? (Rationale) -The Pusat Bandar Damansara/Main Block area is being redeveloped into a commercial hub, and HELP is taking advantage of this to improve services and infrastructure. -Wisma Damansara was found to not meet fire safety standards due to age, and upgrading the building to a sufficient level of safety would incur excessive costs. Who? (Parties involved) -Primarily academic depts. located in the Main Block/PBD and the Business dept for now. All support depts. (bursary, registry, etc) as well as the Centre for Quality Assurance and Student Placement, will also be relocated to the new building. Where? (Location) -A map will be uploaded to help.edu.my soon. We will be occupying all 11 floors of the building. -International marketing and main marketing depts will be integrated into a single dept., to better serve students. This dept will be located on the 5th floor of Amanahraya. -The building location is available on Google Maps/Waze/etc What?
