Maha Chulalongkorn Building the first building on Chulalongkorn University Campus, was designed through the collaboration of Dr. Karl Dohring—a German engineer, and Edward Healey, an English engineer. It was built by H.M. King Vajiravudh’s royal command to serve as the head office of King Chulalongkorn’s School of Civil Servants. The King himself presided over a ceremony to lay the foundation stone of the Thai style building on January 3, 1915. Subsequently, the date has been observed as the birth of the Faculty of Arts.
