In 1999, FTI, with co-operation from Toshiba Thailand Co., Ltd., and Mitsui & Co. (Thailand), Ltd., provided 5.6 rai (0.9 hectare) of land with an existing office building in the Bangkadi Industrial Park (BIP) for SIIT’s use for a period of 30 years. Later, SIIT purchased two more parcels of land in the industrial park with areas of 4 rai (0.64 hectare) and 5 rai (0.8 hectare). The existing building was renovated and enlarged. The new building, which is called the IT&MT building, has a combined area of approximately 3,300 m2. The Computer Science and Information Technology programs moved to these new facilities in June 2002.
Another 6-story building with an area of 6,452 m2 was completed in October 2004. Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn graciously granted the use of the name “Sirindhralai” for this new building and graciously presided over the inauguration of this new building on June 28, 2006. It houses the School of Information, Computer, and Communication Technology (ICT), the School of Management Technology (MT), the Library and Information Services Center, the Computer Center, classrooms, and laboratories.
The third SIIT building is the SIIT Administration and Training Building, located in front of the Bangkadi Industrial Park on Tiwanond Road. It is a four-story building which aims to be a research and training center. The first floor is for car parking. Bangkok Bank and Thanachart Bank are located on the second floor.
