    DESIGN CONCEPT
    • The philosophy of school emphasise on tradition and this is translated into the architecture of the school,
    which works in harmony with the tradition of the local architecture.
    • Campus type planning has been involved with the integration of clusters and courtyard forms.
    • Interconnection of various activity zones is achieved so as to make all the zones easily accessible.
    • The application of the concept is achieved by incorporating traditional Indian concept of building
    elements like courtyards, verandahs, terraces, jaalis, deep overhangs, local materials, tradition and
    craftsmanship.
    • The architecture of the campus incorporates the variation of scale that in-turn is an expression of building
    function and indent as dining and academic block has more imposing scale compared to the others.
    • Confirming to the region as well as to achieve traditional architectural expression, sloping roofs have
    been incorporated into the entire complex.
    • These sheltering roofs have large overhangs to protect the building from region’s fairly heavy rainfall.
    ACADEMIC BLOCK
    The architecture is placed in front of the main entry
    and side of the court of assembly.
    Named Nalanda, after the famous Indian University,
    the academic block is designed in various levels.
    These levels are negotiated by steps that are on
    each of the four sides of courtyard.

    The informal seating spaces are


    provided so that they can be used by
    students during their free time.
    At the exact centre of this academic
    building lies the data centre. Being at
    the lowest level, the roof of the centre
    becomes the connecting bridge
    between the blocks.
    The academic block is organised around
    four courts.
    Corridors are singly loaded with good
    lighting and are 1.8 m wide.
    CLASSROOMS
    • Classrooms are bright and airy,
    are square in plan with a
    chamfered corner.
    • All the classrooms are provided
    with natural lighting and
    display.
    • Classroom size – 7.5 m x 7.5 m
    • Strength of students – 25-30
    i.e. 56.2 sq m for 30 pupils.

    LANDSCAPING
    • There is a perfect integration of architecture of
    school with its landscape.
    • There is an interesting blend of hard and soft
    landscape.
    • All the parts are lined with shrubs and trees thus
    helping to soften the look.
    • The layout of the building, the extensive and
    luxurious landscaping emerges beautifully with
    the surroundings.
    • All this adds to a quiet, serene and pollution free
    environment which further enhances the living
    and learning environment in the school.
    LANDSCAPING
    • Extensive use of hedges
    and climbers in the school.

    • Materials
    o The buildings are largely built of locally available stone.
    o This is the river stone which has been cut and dressed and used as random rubble masonry
    o Exposed brickwork has been used in certain buildings to cover RCC elements and to provide
    a contrast to monolithic character of stone.
    o In certain part of academic block, funicular shell roofing has been used. These provide
    distinctive character to the academic building and also reduce the cost of construction.
