11.2.6 Record and Preserve Cultural Heritage
In the realm of cultural arts, one of the pride of Universitas Indonesia is the FKUI Building. This building is a cultural heritage site in DKI Jakarta, featuring European-style architecture constructed between 1916-1920. Initially, it served as GHS (higher medical school) to replace STOVIA. During the Japanese occupation, it continued to function as a medical school known as Ika Dai Gaku. After independence, it became the Balai Perguruan Tinggi Republik Indonesia (BPTRI) and later Universiteit van Indonesia. Alumni of this institution became prominent figures in the national movement, opposing Japanese authority and fighting for Indonesia's independence during the physical revolution. Given its historical significance and architectural value, the FKUI building, located at Jl. Salemba Raya No. 6, and the Microbiology Building at Jl. Pegangsaan Timur No. 16, deserve special attention from the government for preservation as a Cultural Heritage Site based on:
- Keputusan Menteri Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan Republik Indonesia No. 0128/M/1988 Tentang Penetapan beberapa Gedung, Museum, masjid dan Gereja Sebagai Cagar Budaya yang dilindungi Monumenten Ordonnantie Staatsblad Nomor 238 Tahun 1931.
- Keputusan Gubernur Kepala Daerah Khusus Ibukota Jakarta Nomor: 475 tahun 1993 Tentang Penetapan Bangunan-bangunan Bersejarah di Daerah Khusus Ibukota Jakarta sebagai Benda Cagar Budaya.
Based on the designation of the Faculty of Medicine building at Universitas Indonesia as a Cultural Heritage Site, any renovation, alteration, color change, replacement of building elements, relocation, dismantling, or separation of parts of the building must first consult and obtain recommendations from the Tourism and Culture Office of the Special Capital Region of Jakarta.

This building, architecturally styled in Dutch, is characterized by high ceilings for air circulation. It is symmetrically sized and, when viewed from above, resembles the letter H, which is why it is sometimes referred to as Gedung H. Salemba 6 is generally white, a distinguishing feature indicating its use for the interests of the Dutch East Indies, making it exempt from attacks. The building has been preserved as a place for education and research for FKUI, although some classes are held at the Depok UI campus, and it is also one of the protected cultural heritage sites in Jakarta.
In the FKUI lobby, there is a plaque commemorating Dr. J. Noordhoek Hegt, who was the proponent for the construction of the new STOVIA building, but he passed away before it was completed.
The plaque states that:
- J. Noordhoek Hegt was born in Batavia on March 10, 1868, and passed away in The Hague on September 30, 1915.
- He served as the Director of STOVIA from November 9, 1908, until February 28, 1915.
- This plaque was inaugurated by the Head Inspector of Medical Services.
- The bottom part reads: "For he who has shown great initiative and dedication to the construction of this educational building (in this case, Gedung Salemba 6), which began operation on July 5, 1920. Our thanks to him.”
- On the right and left sides, there are common symbols in the field of medicine and health, namely the staff entwined with a serpent, known as the Staff of Aesculapius.
On July 5, 1920, the medical education building at Salemba 6 was completed, and all educational facilities were moved there. To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the building, FKUI organized a series of preservation activities, including renovations and environmental conservation of the cultural heritage site. This involved the return of the plaque for the groundbreaking (peletakan batu pertama) of the Main Building, conducted by Mrs. van Limburg Stirrum van Sminia on August 26, 1916, in front of His Excellency the Governor-General. The plaque's return was carried out by FKUI alumni from the class of 1996, coinciding with FKUI's 71st anniversary on February 24, 2021, marked by the unveiling of the plaque by the Dean of FKUI and the Chair of the 1996 alumni.
