Faculty of Education
Nestling in the back lanes of Jamia Millia Islamia, this building of the Faculty of Education was among the earliest set of buildings to come up when the Jamia campus shifted from Karol Bagh to its present location in 1935. Like the other original buildings of the campus, this too was designed by German architect Karl Heinz. It evoked both admiration and surprise for its design elements. The influence is distinctly European, as the central dome suggests. There’s a clear departure from the pointed arches of the Mughal-era buildings. Announcing the purpose of the building is a sculpture, representing an open book.
