One of the significant problems in WUSL is the limited accommodation facilities for the academic staff. This project aimed to offer a safe and family-oriented residential life from a peaceful & complete residential building complex for the academic staff of FoT. The designed building is a four-storey building consisting of 22 residences with all primary needs. A solar system was designed for this building using the solar industry’s leading Helioscope Software in order to contribute to the sustainability through energy usage. Furthermore, a composting unit, a grey-water treatment unit, a septic tank, and soakage pits were also designed according to SLS 745 Part-II.

A university canteen is a very important facility for the students as clean and good quality food and refreshments can be obtained at a reasonable price. Currently, Wayamba University has three canteens in Kuliyapitiya premises and there are 3478 students, academic staff and non-academic staff in the university. Most of them are used these three canteens for their food needs. However, many drawbacks can be identified such as; lack of space, big queues, not having a proper waste management system, etc. Because of the above-mentioned drawbacks, this project aimed to design a new canteen in order to satisfy the basic food needs of students and staff and to save the valuable time of the students by providing an effective service. While designing the canteen, the cost effectiveness and environments sustainability of the project was also considered. Therefore, a solar panel system and a bio gas system were added to the design. The purpose of including a solar panel system and a bio gas system was to reduce the maintainance cost of the canteen. Waste generated from the canteen was used as a source for the bio gas system.
