Improvements to the Wimalasurendra Auditorium |
The Wimalasurendra Auditorium in IESL is the main assembling location for the meetings, lectures or any other major events. There was no major refurbishment done to this important area over the past 15 years. Lack of modern look, old furniture , inferior sound quality, unhygienic environment in refreshment area, lack of waiting area for VIPs , lack of lecturer’s preparation area, resting area , reception area have multiplied the negative points to this prime location of IESL. Considering all aspects, committee has taken initiatives to refurbish to meet the expected standard. |

Improvements to front area of IESL building |
Since 1999, no any refurbishment work carried out to the front façade of the main building. Requests have received from the members to improve the front area to reflect the future oriented modern outlook without major structural changes with improved parking facilities. Several proposals have received for the advertisement published in the IESL web and being revived. |

Nothing can be achieved overnight and nothing can be achieved without the support of all Infrastructure Committee Members, secretariat staff, Finance & Procurement Committee and the Council of IESL. Hence, we extend our deep sense of appreciation to all, who are supporting & encouraging for the development activities. Some of the planned items will continue for the years to come and hence, the members’ engagement is very essential to make this task realistic in future. Proposals are called from the members through emails/ IESL web for fairly large works in order to optimize the solution by involving the interested members/ parties. Therefore, we can together share the contribution and enjoy the same benefits equally in improved infrastructure environment tomorrow.
