1. SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
1.1. Background of the Project
1.1.1 University of Moratuwa

Faculty of Medicine is the latest addition to the University of Moratuwa, which celebrates its
Golden Jubilee in 2022, being the most sought technical university of the country’s university
system at present. With its origin in 1961 as the Institute of Practical Technology-Ceylon, and
passage through the Ceylon College of Technology in mid 1960s, becoming the University of Sri
Lanka Katubedda Campus in 1972, reaching the University Status for the first time.
At the inception, the University of Sri Lanka Katubedda Campus had only two faculties, namely,
Faculty of Engineering & Architecture; and, the Faculty of Applied Science. Both were based on
Technological subjects; and, the students were admitted from the Advanced Level Mathematics
stream.
When the University of Sri Lanka was fragmented and its campuses were given autonomous
status in 1978, University of Sri Lanka Katubedda Campus became the University of Moratuwa,
with two Faculties, namely Faculty of Architecture and the Faculty of Engineering. The former
Faculty of Applied Science was absorbed into the Faculty of Engineering. The two Faculty
University continued until addition of the third faculty in 2001, namely Faculty of Information
Technology, only one of its kind in the country. Faculty of Graduate studies was established in
2015; and, the Faculty of Business Studies added to the University as its fifth Faculty in 2017.
The University Grants Commission granted approval in 2018 to the Faculty of Medicine and
commenced its activities on the 1st of December in 2020. It is the sixth Faculty of the University
of Moratuwa. The first batch of 104 students was admitted to the faculty in May 2021. Even
though the Faculty was established to enrich the medical education in Sri Lanka producing
conventional medical graduates, being nourished by the University of Moratuwa technological
environment and absorbing its rich traditions, medical graduates from the Moratuwa University
Faculty of Medicine, will become medical graduates of an exclusive category, sharpened with
technological background.
The medical education at the University of Moratuwa commenced without the necessary
academic infrastructure to support its academic activities; and, the proposed building will cater
to the immediate requirements of the Faculty, by providing essential infrastructure facilities for
preclinical academic activities. The proposed building will provide facilities for departments of
Anatomy, Biochemistry, and Physiology primarily. In addition, this building will also provide
infrastructure facilities for the departments of Medical Technology and Medical Education.
1.2. Location of Site:

The proposed building is to be constructed within the main campus of the University of
Moratuwa, which is located approximately 17 km south of the city of Colombo, sited abutting
the Piliyandala-Katubedda road and one kilometer away from the Katubedda Junction, within
the Administrative Division of Moratuwa in Colombo District.
6-4
A parcel of land, covering approximately 1500.0 sq m.is set aside, out of the total land extent of
approximately 21.50 hectares of the main campus premises, for construction of the proposed
building. Medical students will share the common student amenities of the University of
Moratuwa, including hostels, playgrounds, canteens, gymnasium, open air theatres, main
computer rooms, examination halls, and main lecture theatres etc.,

2. BUILDING DESIGN CRITERIA
The aspects to be considered in developing the criteria for designing the Works are given in this
section. The Bidder shall submit a more comprehensive and accurate Design Criteria after
taking into account the scope of work given above and the aspects given below:
2.1. Architectural Aspects:
2.1.1 Visual Impact - The proposed building should be architecturally compatible to the
proposed location and attempt should be made to create echo friendly integration with
surrounding structures and environment as much as possible. The entry lobby will be the
building’s first impression for users and visitors so it will be inviting, welcoming, easily seen,
and accessible.The area will be open and have a reception desk and used for display purposes.
Materials and finishes will be selected to offer durability as well as aesthetics.
2.1.2. Sustainability- The design of the building must be contemporary and minimalist, and
respond to the climate using sustainable design principles to reduce energy consumption in
manufacture and throughout the life cycle of the building.
If the site allows, the first attempt at building placement should be with the long axis running
east-west. Apertures on the east and especially the west should be minimized. Orientation of the
building should also be selected in relation to the building functions and shape tomaximize the
effect of natural light and ventilation. It will be important to consider the direction of the wind
so that it can be channelized through the interiors.
Interior layout should be designed to maximize light, views, wind direction, and accessibility.
Use of local construction methods (cast-in-place concrete is most widely used and costeffective
in Sri Lanka) is recommended. Local materials should be used where possible.
2.1.3. Prohibited Materials - the use of the following materials should be avoided in
designing the building:
 Products containing asbestos
 Products containing urea formaldehyde
 Products containing poly-chlorinated bi-phenyl
 Solder or flux containing more than 0.2 percent lead and domestic water pipe or
pipe fittings containing more than 8 percent lead
 Paint containing more than 0.06 percent lead
2.1.4. Topography - The contour locations and spacing of contours will play a big role in the
sitingof the building. If possible, the building should be designed along with the contours,
integrating it into the design to reduce unnecessary cutting and filling of soil.
2.1.5. Modern Facilities - Excellent functional design is expected to support and facilitate
effective activities assigned for the proposed building. The design must bring clarity and
coherence to the spaces, facilities and services of the proposed purposes of the building and
the environment.

usablespaces. The lighting scheme must be appropriate for the different areas and provide for
6-25
reading, viewing and computer use. The offices will provide a well-lit, comfortable and
functional work environment. All offices will have an exterior exposure to allow daylight to
save energy. All electrical fittings should be eco-friendly and energy saving types (LED lamps
are recommended).
Consideration should be given to the options offered by direct lighting, indirect lighting, down-
lighting, up lighting and lighting from wall or floor-mounted fixtures. In office areas general
illumination of about 500 lux and in public areas illumination of about 200 lux would be
preferred.
Lecture theatres should be designed with minimum window areas to fulfil statutory
requirements; and, should have facilities to darken the space whenever necessary.
2.1.7. Roof and Roof Covering - Aluminium/Zink sheets or equivalent material should be
proposed for roof covering and heat resistant foil should be laid to cover the entire roof area
below the sheeting material. The roof is expected to give excellent aesthetic view from a
distance and shall be strong enough to carry the loads of the solar power system, which will be
installed in the future. Further, the outer periphery of the building at roof level should be
designed to support the Gondola system designed by the Contractor, if installed. An insulated
