INTRODUCTION Building refurbishment is still a new phenomenon in Malaysia. However, in overseas country like European Union and United Kingdom was being widely used building refurbishment. This is because there are many old building which can be repair and maintenance. Building refurbishment and adaptation like maintenance, repair, restoration and extension is known as repair and maintenance. There are few factors that make the refurbishment project will be need. For example, deterioration of the building, Obsolescence of building and the economic cycle like inflation, interest rates, rates of economic growth and change in customers requirement. It is also help to retain buildings of architecture value and it may be less expensive than new building. For every building which has been change in use through refurbishment, the extraction of raw materials and the manufacturing process and energy involved in converting these into a completed replacement building are voided to the undoubted benefit of the environment. When doing the refurbishment we must consider special planning, design and construction needs. This is important to make sure the refurbishment work go on track and know the cost to do it. Usually, work required to refurbish of existing building need less time than the alternative of demolition, site clearance and the construction of new building. Administrative offices of faculty law are a building which has been refurbishment from food court to office space. The internal bodies in UiTM involve help to make this project become efficiently. However, the effectiveness of implementing the process is still in question which each organization has set up the process in different ways.

FIGURE 4 SHOW THE INTERIOR BUILDING IMAGE OF ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE OF FACULTY LAW IN DIFFERENT ANGLE. 2.1 OBJECTIVE AND REASON WHY OF REFURBISHMENT The objective of the refurbishment is to provide office space for faculty law to do administrative works. This is because the faculty law dont get enough space to allocate its office. The refurbishment also intends to improve the function and safety of the building. The building was being repair and renovate by contractor and subcontractor. According to unit facility UiTM Shah Alam the refurbishment was is made by according to request of end user to them.

facilities management will send the application to project department. This department will decided which officer will be conducted to the application. The selected of officer is depend on knowledge and have courses must be attend. The officers are selected by head of project department. After this stage, officer, head of project department and other people who responsible with the project will go on site to check the real condition of the building. Sometimes, they will give the project immediately to contractor. The cost to be estimate is difficult to get because we must refer to Jawatan Kuasa Ubahsuai Dalaman (JKUDL). JKUDL will make a meeting to determine the budget was being approved. After all process was be agreed the next process will be conducted until the contractor will be choose. This budget is depending on budget of Kementerian Pengajian Tinggi (KPT). If no budget, the faculty also can use their fund to construct the refurbishment project. For refurbishment in the UiTM which just internal only, no need to make application to local authority.

2.3 PROBLEM OCCURS AFTER REFURBISHMENT There are some problem occur after refurbishment of the college Cempaka to be change to administrative of faculty law, UiTM Shah Alam. According to the building user in the past 2 years, the ceiling at first floor was being collapse and there was appear a leakage in the toilet at down stair. However, the facilities unit was repair this failure. From our research we also see some crack at the wall of the building. This happens maybe from installation of electrical appliances.

2.4 COMMENTS STRENGTH The building appearance and performance was improve when make refurbishment. There space of food court which before appear not attractive, now it was be divided into partition which consist of administrative office, gallery, seminar room, meeting room, library, department deans room, store room, pantry and also record room. The space area of building now is not like a food court anymore and looks like a office place. WEAKNESS For fire safety requirement this building is less provided of fire safety device. This is because there is less of equipment for fire protection for example fire extinguisher, fire alarm, fire hydrant, hose reel system and emergency lighting. OPPORTUNITY This building is located near to faculty of law and cafeteria on the second floor of the building. It also consists of surau for the staff and student to pray. THREAT If appear any fire spread in the building, the occupant will hard to extinguisher the fire. This is because there is less provided of fire protection equipment.

CONCLUSION As a conclusion we found that refurbishment for this building as to prolong maintain of the building. Refurbishment happens in this building due the lack of space. Besides that, the budget must have to do the refurbishment works. At the case study is a very strategic location and very convenience for the occupants in the building.

RECOMMENDATION For the recommendation, we think that, for this building must have a landscape for the attraction to the people that entering this building. Moreover, to maintain this building must have the schedule for preventive maintenance. For the fire safety at this building must be improve due the safety does not fully carried out.
