The design by VERITAS conceived a sinuous four-storey building at the centre of a 35-acre estate adjacent to PLC’s existing campus. Nestled within heavily landscaped grounds, the facility has become a centre of learning excellence, intellectual dialogue and community — a tranquil oasis detached from urban hustle and bustle.

The campus’s sinuous form represents the concept of knowledge being fluid, flowing and ever-growing. The concept of water ripples – where small actions reverberate to create a larger impact – inspires a form that subtly resonates with PETRONAS’ commitment to sustainability.

Enveloped by a sinuous four-storey green building, the interior has been thoughtfully designed to support PETRONAS’ commitment to innovation, sustainability and community. The foundation of PLC’s design approach lies in the organisational strategy of the entire building.

Supporting an agile work environment, the workspaces at PLC are designed for flexibility and productivity. Side-by-side learning rooms can be combined by retracting automated partitions into the ceiling space. The system confers the desired spatial flexibility, providing barrierless layouts and freedom of configuration.

These formal spaces are supported by breakout lounges, amphitheatres, and touchdown zones that encourage informal collaboration and networking. Open workspaces with mobile furnishings and integrated discussion areas, replace tall cubicles, fostering a more agile, people-centric working environment.

The courtyard design at PLC fuses aesthetic quality and functional purpose, creating a visually compelling and practical design. The grounds of PLC extend the classroom experience into this outdoor setting that balances social and recreational performance. The planting beds, ornamental trees, shrubs and water bodies form a biophilic playground, a space of discovery for the senses as guests stroll along pathways.

The Petronas Leadership Centre (PLC), a three-story campus with educational, recreational and hospitality spaces, has earned both the GBI Platinum Rating and LEED Platinum Rating. The cascading building form responds directly to the project’s topographical and environmental demands with a design that integrates seamlessly with its natural setting. Additionally, the campus also sets a distinctive profile at a previously underdeveloped flat greenfield site. It is intentionally designed to foster social collaboration and enhance future learning experiences through innovative spaces, supporting Petronas’ corporate values and work culture.

At the pre-contract stage, services include preparing preliminary cost estimates, advising on project feasibility and budgeting, recommending appropriate procurement strategies, and developing detailed elemental cost plans. Our team conducted cost checks throughout design development, provided value engineering input, and advised on the financial implications of design changes. Tender documentation services include preparing Bills of Quantities, preliminaries, and pricing documents, as well as assisting with tender queries, analysis, reporting, contractor recommendation, and negotiations.

During the post-contract stage, we monitored and controlled project costs, prepared monthly financial reports, valued work completed, recommended progress payments, assessed and priced variations, and evaluated contractor claims, including extension of time and loss and expense implications, ensuring effective financial management throughout construction. 

During initiation and planning, reviewed the client’s brief, budget, and program, advised on delivery strategy, prepared the Project Execution Plan, established governance structures, developed the master schedule, coordinated feasibility studies, and identified key risks. In the design phase, appointed and coordinated consultants, 
monitored design progress against cost and timeline, ensured statutory compliance, and facilitated value engineering and client approvals. Managed the procurement process including tender documentation, evaluation, reporting, and contract execution.
