6.1.1. Spatial Organisation

The classroom block consists of six units held together by a single double height corridor space. The corridor to the classroom acts as a place of informal discussion between students and faculty, students and students. This also becomes the entry exit lobby to the classroom.

Within the classroom itself, the space is broken into sub-spaces by creating alcove like spaces near the entrance points and a distinct place for a teacher. Light was taken indirectly by triangular light wells on either sides of the room, so that there are no direct visual connection to the outside-creating an extremely

Strong sense of and ‘inside’-an inner center.Towards the plaza, the individual classrooms are concealed by the continuous façade of the corridor-in order to maintain the institutional scale of the plaza. But towards the dormitory each units of classroom blocks is

expressed as a separate mass, linked by semi-open balcony like spaces.
