PALMOILMAGAZINE, MEDAN – Musim Mas Group has reinforced its commitment to improving education quality by launching a Smart Class facility at Universitas Islam Negeri Sumatera Utara. The initiative marks a concrete step toward accelerating digital transformation in higher education.
The facility was officially inaugurated on April 13, 2026, by UINSU Rector Nurhayati and Musim Mas Group President Director Gunawan Siregar.
The Smart Class is the result of a renovation project that transformed a former administrative office into a modern learning space. Upgrades include structural improvements and enhanced facilities to support contemporary teaching needs, such as flood-resilient building adjustments, as well as the installation of digital screens, air conditioning systems, and integrated audio equipment.
