Abstract : Around the world, many individual campus assessment projects have been done over the last decade. This
research intended to initiate this kind of practices in developing country by assessing the sustainability performances of
university campus from Myanmar, Yangon Technological University. The main aim of assessment actions is to
comparatively reflect developing country university campus from the viewpoint of the international well-known rating
systems/ tools established by developed country. The research framework was designed with three major phases while the
first two phases focus on content analysis and the last one reflect on evaluation performances. This study indicates that there
is no perfect tool to assess the university campus from developing country by showing the different evaluation results on
single development. Across three sustainable dimensions, YTU campus has the strength in society and economic but it fails
to earn high score in environment. Even though there have several commitments on persuading sustainability, it is still poor
and failed to earn high sustainability certification according to lack of regulations, guidelines and standards. To line on the
sustainability path of way, the weakness highlighted by this research should be taken actions by means of several pilot
projects participating and encouraging students and researchers from multi disciplines. The leading of the university as a
sustainable campus would also bring the benefits of communities to develop more sustainable ways of living and working
and addressing society’s modern environmental challenges.
