Building on Brownfield Sites
In 2023, Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) redeveloped a brownfield site into Cabin in the Wood (CITW), located between Dewan Tuanku Syed Putra and The Bricks. This transformation, built on previously developed land, replaced old structures with larger, modern facilities, including five creatively repurposed cabins and containers. Surrounded by lush greenery, CITW features a vertical garden, water elements, and gazebos, providing an inviting space for outdoor dining and relaxation. The project highlights USM’s commitment to sustainable redevelopment. For reference, please see the map below, which highlights several brownfield developments across the campus.
