The PUI Javanologi Building rehabilitation project started on 30 July 2021 and was completed on 12 April 2022. The construction effort that had stalled before was re-commenced last year as a structure rehabilitation. In his report, the Head of PUI Javanologi Rehabilitation Project from PT Mei Karya, Adiztya Wibisaputra, expressed his gratitude to all parties supporting the project. “Finally, the physical construction was completed smoothly, though there were numerous challenges that appeared along the way. The rehabilitation conducted includes improvement of building structures, building architecture, mechanical electrical work, and landscape areas around PUI Javanologi for a perfect function,” he explained.

Meanwhile, the Head of Central Java Regional Settlement Infrastructure Center, Budi Mulyo Utomo, S.T., states that this reconstruction project is based on applicable regulations such as President Decree No. 3 of 2019 regarding construction, rehabilitation, or renovation of community markets, university infrastructure, Islamic religious university, and the primary and secondary education units. “This rehabilitation, hopefully, can fulfill the needs to improve and optimize higher education quality. Hopefully, it can be beneficial for the lecturers, students, and community around UNS,” said Budi.

Prof. Jamal Wiwoho reveals that this soft-launching became a thrilling moment for the UNS academic members since it coincided with the Pancasila Day on 1 June 2022, which allowed UNS to host two concurrent activities. “This construction started from an idea that UNS, which was established in the center of Javanese cultural civilization development, should have a center for Javanese cultural tradition study, at the same time implementing UNS Vision and Mission that based on the noble values of national culture. In 2011, UNS successfully established the Center of Javanologi Institute, under LPPM UNS supervision,” explained Prof. Jamal.

With the completion of the Javanologi Building, the Rector of UNS wishes that the building can contribute to innovative and productive research and ideas, both from the lecturers and students, in developing Javanese culture through the Higher Education Tri Dharma. “Hopefully, the PUI Javanologi can provide an optimum support to the efforts to actualize the values of national cultural traditions, especially Javanese culture as part of local wisdom to strengthen the identity of the Indonesian nation,” he concluded.
