BANDUNG, itb.ac.id—Institut Teknologi Bandung (Âé¶¹Ö±²¥) has committed to the development of a multicampus, one of which being in itb Cirebon Campus. As a form of this commitment, Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ always cooperates with various parties, especially with the West Java Provincial Government.

In partnership with the West Java Provincial Government, Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ will build student dormitories and laboratories this year. To realize this, the West Java Provincial Government has provided Regional Grants (NPHD) for the operations and infrastructure of the Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ Cirebon Campus.

In 2023, the West Java Provincial Government made a commitment in the form of a regional grant to Âé¶¹Ö±²¥. The funds will be allocated for infrastructure development, in the form of student dormitories, lecturer housing and multifunctional building C, operations as well as laboratory development.

The development of this laboratory will be devoted to study programs which currently still have to use the laboratory facilities at the Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ Ganesha Campus. It is hoped that students will no longer need to go to Bandung to carry out practicums or work on their final assignments.

The student dormitories that will be built will prioritize female students, especially for Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ Cirebon Campus female students who are entering their second year of education at Âé¶¹Ö±²¥, where their first year of education will be carried out at the Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ Jatinangor Campus. As is known, starting in 2023, all Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ new student activities in the first year will be held at the Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ Jatinangor Campus.

It is hoped that the provision of a female dormitory at the Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ Cirebon Campus can help female students adjust to the new environment in Cirebon. It is hoped that this dormitory will be able to accommodate around 200 female students. With this capacity, it is estimated that all second year Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ Cirebon Campus students can be accommodated in the dormitories.

In addition to building a girls' dormitory, the Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ Cirebon Campus will also build housing for lecturers, especially for lecturers who still have to work at two other campuses to make accommodation easier. In the long term, Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ has recruited new lecturers specifically to become Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ Lecturers at the Cirebon campus. As of now, most of them are pursuing further education before they are ready to teach at the Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ Cirebon Campus.

The signing ceremony for the Regional Grant Agreement Document (NPHD) between the West Java Provincial Government and the grantees was held at the West Java LPTQ Building on May 11 2023. The signing from the Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ Cirebon Campus was carried out by the Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ Vice Rector for Finance, Planning, and Development Ir. Muhamad Abduh, M.T., Ph.D. Also attending the event were the West Java Provincial Government representative Drs. H.
