AIT President Prof. Worsak Kanok-Nukulchai thanked them for remembering
their alma mater and contributing towards the modernization of the AIT
library. Highlighting the overall plan, Prof. Worsak stated that the
new library will incorporate elements of both modern technology and
design. While the library interiors are being conceptualized by a
notable interior designer, the new AIT Library will use Radio Frequency
Identification (RFID) to replace bar codes.
“We plan to use the expertise of our mechatronics laboratory by
including a robot in the library, which shall move along fixed paths
collecting and carrying books,” Prof. Worsak said. The center court of
the library, which is a green area will be integrated within the
library so that students can take their books and read in the open
area, he added. “I have also challenged my colleagues to suggest
innovative ideas,” the AIT President said.
Mr. Sanjeev Jayasinghe, Director, Fundraising, while welcoming Mr.
Somchai and Mr. Sukhum, thanked them for their generosity. Prof.
Pennung Warnitchai of AIT’s School of Engineering and Technology (SET)
also joined the deliberations.
