ABSTRACT
The current scenario has wide opportunities for design projects and its successful execution. In a
building, designing and planning leans towards the functionality and performance to claim itself to be a
successful building. Circulation is one of the important key to achieve it. As we need barrier free
environment with ease of movement, visual balance and safety, a proper circulation planning will help
in achieving it. This is applicable to any built environment.
Moreover, a public building has an increased number of users, who can be repeated as new users after
that place. The need for a proper and legible circulation in such building is a challenge to an architect.
The importance of circulation in such buildings is gradually diminishing. This study supports to
emphasis the significant role of circulation planning in campus design.
Taking case examples of campus designs in the process of critical analysis will be the initiative to
interpret the various issues and demands that influences the circulation and movement in building. The
interpreted data helps in producing the issues and needs, under one roof for multiple factors. The main
factors of study will be the standards, accessibility and lighting. Campus buildings for case study,
circulation of which is critically analyzed in order to achieve a good learning experience, satisfy
emergency conditions approach to required domain in the respective buildings.
Apart from this, a post occupancy research is also made for live case examples with same factors of
study. User opinion is taken and combined to the analysis to arrive at conclusion. Both the buildings
has a more number of fresh users which is an important design consideration.
Concluding the major design considerations and framing the design guidelines for an efficient
circulation planning in a campus will be the major output of this study.

1. TOPIC
1.1.INTRODUCTION
Circulation refers to the way people move through and interact with a building.
Figure - 1
In order to acquire a legible and functionally efficient planning, designing of circulation space is an
important factor to be considered.
In current scenario, there have been many compromises in proper/efficient planning of circulation
spaces.
Figure - 2
11
This study supports to emphasis the significant role of circulation space in buildings and elevate its
importance.
1.3.WHY CAMPUS??
One could say that the word uni-versity means One including all, a single, unified community of
individuals of different experience living, cooking and studying together to assimilate knowledge,
improve skills and develop character.
Figure - 3
1.4.METHODOLOGY
1.4.1 STAGE 1:
What are the various pedestrian circulation elements, for horizontal and vertical circulation?
What are the various parts of the building that is included under circulation ?
spaces.
What are the spatial standards and dimension standards for circulation paths and spaces?
12
1.4.2 STAGE 2:
1.4.3 STAGE 3:
Analysis of the issues and potentials of the circulation spaces in the case study.
1.4.4 STAGE 4:
Summarize the inferences from the analysis made in both the case study and literature study.
Figure - 4
The main scope would be framing design principles for designing flexible circulation to provided a
feasible design principles.
The study is mainly based on connections between the different parts of campus and to establish the
continuous fabric to avoid disturbance of pedestrians and vehicles.

2.ELEMENTS OF CAMPUS DESIGN
2.1 APPROACH
The Distant View
2.2 ENTRANCE
From Outside to inside
APPROACH
2.1.1. FRONTAL (approach is clear)
A Frontal approach leads directly to the entrance of a building along a straight, axial path.
Figure - 7
15
Figure - 8.
2.1.3. SPIRAL
A spiral path prolongs the sequence of the approach and emphasizes the three-
dimensional form of a building as we move around its perimeter.
2.2. ENTRANCE
Entrance is a place of entering like a gate or door, one space from another and
separates, where you are, from where you are going.

2.3 CONFIGURATION OF PATH
2.3.1. RADIAL
2.3.2. SPIRAL
2.3.3. GRID
A Grid configuration consists of two sets of parallel paths that intersect at regular
intervals and create square or rectangular fields of space.
Figure - 11
2.3.4. NETWORK
2.3.5. COMPOSITE
In reality, a building usually employs a combination of the different paths.
Figure - 12
Paths may be related to the spaces they link in a number of ways Pass by Spaces.
17
2.5. FORM OF CIRCULATION SPACES
2.5.1. Enclosed
Forming a public galleria or private corridor that relates to the spaces it links
Forming a colonnaded passageway that becomes a physical extension of the space it passes
through.
Figure - 13
Stairs and stairways provide for our vertical movement between the levels of a
building or outdoor space
The slope of a stairway, determined by the dimensions of its risers and treads,
should be proportioned to fit our body movement and capability.
There are several basic ways in which to configure the runs of stairs

Primary circulation
Secondary circulation.
Primary circulation is the main route connecting the building core and common spaces
49
Secondary circulation is the aisles between the individual and support spaces.
As a general planning thumb rule, Circulation areas comprises roughly 12% to 16% of total
usable areas.
The width and height of the circulation space should be proportionate with the type and the
The distinction in scale should be establish between a public promenade , a more private
To accommodate more traffic as well as to create space for pausing, resting, or viewing
The path can also be enlarged by merging with spaces it pass through.
Within a large space, a path can be random, without form or definition, and be determined

wheelchair users or those with push chairs.
Lifts:
Minimum internal dimension 1100 mm x 1400 mm accommodating at least 8 people (630
