Natural lighting and heating of classrooms are optimised by their orientation 

The residential blocks are oriented in the east-west axis with the living quarters facing south to facilitate solar heat gain. Circulation areas are placed on the colder north side.  The natural slope of the site provides for universal access.

South facing residential blocks utilise the sun’s heat to generate warmth inside while the natural slope provides universal access

Natural Features 

The natural soil condition aids water from melting snow or rain to seep into the ground thus recharging the ground water.  The negligible amount of hard paving in the site ensures that almost all snow or rain falling on it is recharged into the ground. CREATED BY : MEET SHAH
