subsidiaries and educate employees to gain competence and professionalism. One of its roles is to
balance the company’s needs with learning activities using an integrated information system. PLN
Corporate University acts as a medium in enhancing excellence in the areas of leadership, competence,
and high work ethics. To make it happen, it needs to be supported by spatial planning which supports

only fulfill the need to work, but also have other advantages, such as providing the improved
environmental quality and work quality, stimulating the interaction and teamwork among staffs and
departments, and encouraging the emergence of innovation through creative processes that occur at
the work environment. To achieve the desired condition, the basic concepts applied in the interior
design of PLN Corporate University are open-space, flexible, simple, inspiring, performing,
phenomenal, and creative in order to realize its vision and mission as the center of excellence in
learning.
