Srinakharinwirot University (SWU) has nineteen faculties spread across two campuses: the Prasarnmit Campus in downtown Bangkok and the Ongkharak Campus located 70km NE of Bangkok. The Ongkharak Campus is the larger of the two – both in land footprint and number of students – and hence is designated the main SWU campus for this Green University campaign.
