Government Updates Transition Plan for Uthen Thawai Campus
Deputy Prime Minister Yotsanan Wongsawad confirms ongoing efforts to manage student access to Uthen Thawai laboratories while advancing construction of a new campus.
On October 26, 2026, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation, Yotsanan Wongsawad, provided an update regarding the transition of the Rajamangala University of Technology Tawan-ok, Uthen Thawai Campus.
Addressing concerns about student access to laboratory facilities during the relocation process, Yotsanan stated that the ministry is working to secure external lab spaces for students. However, for those requiring specialized equipment at the original site, the ministry is coordinating with university deans to manage schedules and ensure safety during transit. Police presence will be maintained to oversee these movements.
Regarding the long-term relocation, Yotsanan emphasized that construction of the new campus is proceeding in parallel with current operations. Land preparation and site planning are underway at the previously identified location, a project initiated two years ago. The government is currently finalizing budget allocations for the upcoming academic year to support these facilities.
For residents and visitors, this situation highlights ongoing administrative efforts to resolve long-standing institutional transitions. While the government aims to maintain educational standards and campus harmony, the exact timeline for the full relocation remains subject to the progress of construction and budget finalization. The ministry continues to prioritize student safety and academic continuity throughout this transition period.
