An epicenter for interdisciplinary collaboration, the new headquarters for Shiksharatna demonstrates the latest design trends in knowledge buildings and campus architecture while introducing flexible spaces for learning and innovation.

Bandhaan’s design for this educational project is inspired by values of collaboration, excellence, and innovation that will form the heart of a next-gen educational campus. The design places at its core a central atrium, which is a vibrant hub that fosters interaction and collaboration to attract the best students and educators. Flooded with natural light, this dynamic space serves as the heartbeat of activity, promoting engagement and a sense of community while saving on everyday energy needs.

 

Classrooms are strategically arranged around the atrium, with terraces, bridges, and staircases adding architectural intrigue and facilitating visual connections. The flexible floor plates allow for multiple classes to be combined internally to form larger teaching spaces when the need arises. The layout is vertically arranged to have all the public areas on the ground floor, followed by general teaching on the first and second floors, and staff rooms and cabins on the third floor. This thoughtful design not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also strengthens the sense of unity and openness, making it an ideal environment for effective learning.

 

Set back from the front, the building offers a welcoming space for visitors and parents, creating a positive first impression. The safe and secure backyard provides a perfect play area for young children, ensuring peace of mind for families. The windows are masterfully articulated to maximize natural light, incorporating inbuilt seating and storage spaces that add functionality and comfort. This design not only elevates the learning environment but also optimizes practicality, creating an unparalleled educational setting.

A new design phase is looking at incorporating student hostels and accommodation on site and integrating it with the learning facilities.
