English Version

SMK Subang Utama or previously known as SMK Subang Jaya 2 is one of the earliest secondary schools  in Subang Jaya. Back then, it was also known as School 2 (with the title of School 1 given to Sekolah Menengah Subang Jaya). The School is located at Jalan SS18/1A, which is the West of Subang Jaya and off Tujuan Avenue (Persiaran Tujuan). The school’s code is BEA 8614

Construction on the school premises began in 1987, and was fully completed by October 1989 and accepted its first batch of morning session students on the 4th of December, 1989. Initially, students only took up two blocks of the campus (C Block and D Block) as the other two blocks were occupied temporarily by students from SRK SS19 (SS19 Primary School). Most students come from the SS18 area.

The campus is approximately 130 acres (0.53 km2) wide with 3.9 acres (16,000 m2) of track and field, a canteen, an assembly area and 4 blocks. A single-story block consisting of four workshops (Bengkel Kemahiran Hidup) was built in 1993 for the Living Skills subjects: (Electrical and Electronic, Pipe and Plumbing, Mechanical, and Technical Drawing)

The same year, five science labs were fully operational and ready to accommodate students. These science labs include two for the lower secondary cohort, one physics lab, one biology lab and one chemistry lab. Due to shortage of classrooms and an increasing student population throughout the years, these science labs became temporary classrooms for Secondary Four students (Floating Class).

Five years later in 1998, construction began for the school’s first Surau. The old makeshift Surau was closed and the Surau was opened to all Muslims, including the public. Another single-storey classroom block was also built to accommodate the increasing student population of the school. This block (F Block) consists of four classrooms, and was usually allocated to Secondary Five classes.

In 2003, the volleyball court between D Block and B Block was torn down for the construction of a two-storey Computer/IT Block. The block remained vacant for a few years, and later only used for teaching purposes. A new volleyball court, along with a basketball court, were built next to A Block.

In 2003, construction of the multi-purpose hall was started. Many alumni criticized the building as it was not a proper solid wall, with students still getting wet inside when it rained. Then, the school was among the only secondary schools in Subang Jaya without a proper hall.

The five blocks (including the single-storied one) were named Anggerik, Bakawali, Cempaka, Dahlia and Flora. The fifth block was named Block F instead of E. The new block which is known as Exora was opened to students in the year 2010.
