The lack of appropriate architectural science laboratories to support good learning-teaching methods has long
been a problem in Indonesia and has been suspected result in the poor building environmental design quality.
Anticipating the global free trade era, the methods should be improved if the students are to compete with their
counterparts from countries with well-established education system. The current poor condition of almost all of
