As higher education institutions in Malaysia strive toward sustainability, walkability has emerged as a critical aspect of campus planning that influences not only environmental goals but also student well-being and daily experiences. This study examines the experiential dimensions of walkability within Malaysian universities through a case study of the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) Gombak Campus. Drawing on student surveys, on-site observation, the research investigates how functional, aesthetic, and emotional factors contribute to or hinder walkability. Results reveal a moderate level of student satisfaction, highlighting challenges related to thermal comfort, maintenance, and pedestrian infrastructure. This paper argues for an experience-driven approach to campus design and planning that prioritises human-centred solutions for sustainable university development in Malaysia.
