“This innovative structure invites architects and industrialists to rethink the factory as a building type.” 4
Intimates Thurulie enjoy an exceptional working environment; MAS Holdings has an efficient new plant recognized as a benchmark in the apparel industry; consumers have a further source of clothing they can trust; the government of Sri Lanka has assurance that the rehabilitation of the formerly abandoned industrial park is well under way; the communities near the plant have regained economic hope; and animals reign undisturbed on the facility grounds all night long. It is the combination of all these benefits that makes this building a remarkable example of sustainable design. MAS Intimates Thurulie was designed, built, and commissioned in just thirteen months – encouraging evidence that it is clearly possible to make significant progress toward sustainability during our lifetime. We must not forget that MAS Intimates Thurulie is a true proponent of sustainability because it combines not only environmental and social performance, but is also economically successful against stringent competition from other, less “sustainability-minded” manufacturers in the garment industry. MAS Intimiates Thurulie clearly shows that a company can indeed do well by doing good. Holcim (Lanka) Ltd is proud to have been involved in the realization of this forward-looking building as supplier of locally-produced cement. We take pleasure in publishing this booklet to raise awareness of the opportunities for adopting new approaches in construction. Our thanks go to the Swiss-based Holcim Foundation for Sustainable Construction for providing extensive support in preparing this publication for the benefit of stakeholders also beyond Sri Lanka. 5
