Assumption Hall (A Building)

The original master-plan envisions 4 to 5 storey buildings scattered around the campus that would have made of ABAC a concrete jungle. As multi-storied buildings sprung around, the administration though it would be better to do the same, put up one or two buildings more and keep ample space for flowers, trees, and grass. The new headquarters of the Bangkok Bank had just been completed … At a lunch meeting between high ranking officers of the Bank and the top administrators of ABAC, the latter were advised not to exceed ten stories, as beyond, costs would multiply, not add … At that time the students toilets were behind the former shed and further away the servants’ quarters. All had to be pulled down to give way for the new Assumption Building that would be in remembrance of “Ratanakosin 200 years”. Innumerable alterations occurred during the construction. Rev. Br. Martin couldn’t help adding an eleventh floor on the original blue-print. The clock that strikes the hour and the carillon that sings the praises of the Blessed Virgin came straight from Northern Italy and the inventor came to have them fixed.

In March 1985. H.E. General Prem Tinasulanonda, Prime Minister, officially inaugurated the building and opened the new Graduate School of Business.

Simultaneously and to enhance the idea that ABAC prides itself as a catholic institution, a chapel was built up dedicated to our Lady of Annunciation and financed by funds from Germany. The chapel is a little jewel with beautiful stained glasses and original wall sculptures. The stained glasses on each side on the altar are from Italy. The others and the wall sculptures were conceived by Bev. Br. Martin and realized by Thai artists. The statues from Italy were to remind the worship of old cherished traditions.

Assumption Building was erected in 1982.
