formerly used as a convocation hall. This research was done to identify issues regarding the Existing
current condition of the hall, and to reveal its architectural and historical value. Dilapidation
survey using defect analysis method was done to clarify the overall condition of the hall,

hall is in ‘fair’ condition, where the most types of defects found was damage and peeling of
paint in both internal and external parts of the building. Meanwhile, the element with the highest
numbers of defects was the internal ceiling and the highest category of defects found was the
