Introduction
IDEAL CAMPUS
The campus is the physical environment created when building is constructed to allow
the idea to flourish. A campus has been compared to a city on a small scale because it
provides most of the needs for the community. Unlike a city, however, the campus is
non-commercial and primarily a place of study. The campus, therefore, ought to be a
closely with unified cluster of buildings with intimate pedestrian open spaces providing a
unique environment for living and studying it should ideally be a quiet, comfortable
oasis apart from the normally
Busy, Noisy, Congested
World in this sense a campus should be more like a residential suburb or dark than a city
Each of these zones requires different and special study design techniques to plan energy
efficient buildings.
The energy requirement of building depend upon various factors like comfort levels,
location of building usage of building etc.

Hence, one would provide for all these different consideration in architecture.
Creation of an environment inside the building in known as three dimensional
architecture, while creation of the same outside the building is known as two
dimensional architecture.

Roof
Generally, heat storage insulation is best, which uses the fly-wheel of outgoing
radiation for daily heat balance. However a shaded, ventilated roof is also
applicable, primarily over night user rooms. Water spray or
Shading
Devices should be separate from structure, and exposed to wind convection.
Foundation Basement
Lithosphere type of houses are possible in this zone.
Mechanical Equipment
Equipment should have high operating efficiency in heat producing devices, such
as those for cooking.

HUMAN NEEDS
In an ideal campus environment, regardless of size, classrooms and living spaces should
be related for the convenience of pedestrian occupants and closely linked to the qualities
of the natural setting.
Since a campus is for people, it must be designed to the measure of man himself, his
physical dimensions, his senses his habits, responses and impulses. Moreover, the mind
of man his intellect, instincts and ambitions, must be satisfied. To merely accommodate
him is not enough. Students and staff alike should be delighted and inspired if the campus
environment is to fulfill its potential.
Unfortunately, however, few buildings on university campuses in India give little
evidence of having been planned with proper regard for such obvious factors as
(I) prevailing winds,
(II) solar radiation and
(III) Monsoon rains that should have influenced orientation form, use of materials etc.
appropriateness and simple beauty testify more than anything else to the importance of
understanding the needs of man and the careful application of design principles to
campus design problems so that those needs may be met.

Scale has been respected and there has been a continuing consistency in roof
lines, missing, relationships and fenestration.
General consistency has prevailed in selecting materials, in creating a series of
design recalls and themes, and in relating proportion, color and texture.
Full respect has been given to neighboring buildings and existing spatial qualities
in the sitting of buildings.
Each new building has been considered as a completing element or further
refinement of spatial order and sequence of campus spaces.
Each new building and the landscape are blended so the spatial order is strength
ended rather than being disturbed.

The campus provides for 2400 students and 500 staff with the possibility of
doubling the present capacity.
The residential areas adjoin the academic complex to provide a planned
neighborhood unit with provision for such community needs as
Shops
primary school
Hospital
Post office and bank.
The area of the campus is 800 acres.
SIGNIFICANCE FOR TODAY
Most importantly, the Institution established progressive objectives in the beginning.
Secondly. Building program was prepared stating the specific requirements for physical
facilities, proportionate with the needs and objectives of the educational program.
The building program provided for phasing of construction according to the expanding
requirements of the growing institution.
