EVOLUTION IN EDUCATION
Educational institutions are indicators of direction in which a culture intends to be headed
in. Built in anticipation of market trends: they represent the value that a community
attaches to learning.
Education, as a process, can be effective only if constantly evolves with the society and
mirrors its aspirants. This fact ia a vital significance in India, which is fast catching up
with the world as technological advancement is revolutionizing the content and process
of its education. The challenge for educational facilities is to keep up with this evolution.

In an inter-connected and multi-ethnic environment like that of india, the challenge
extends beyond technological integration/upgradation of the education system into

FUNCTIONAL COMPONENTS
ARCHITECTURAL Progress of educational buildings does not imply
quantative massification. It implies more robust , flexible, adaptable buildings
for a diversified range of courses. The success of such a setup depends on
balance between the managerial and physical combinations.
The department is a unit for administering a defined block of courses. The
departments for the proposed projects have respective courses cut out for
themselves. The yearly itake and time tabling determines the building program
i.e the nature and number of rooms needed for each activity.
The building provides and limits the activities that are to be performed in it.
Thus, it becomes vital to determine what the building doesn’t do. Functionally,
the building should provide room for change.

ARCHITECTURAL SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROJECT
1.The educational sector is undergoing a rapid transformation and adopting multi
pranged approach to education. More and more universities are proposing to set up
inter disciplinary institutes.
2.Moreover, as a building typology the university campus is undergoing major
organ transplants. New means of education are upgrading the three systems of
international exchange –video , voice, data.
3.This project addresses this phenomenon of change of educational institute both
in term of educational program and the building program.
4.Development is the single preoccupation of all civilizations after survival. It is
an insightful level that needs of specialized further education can be addressed.
This university is a project that deals with intellectual resources and canalizing it
towards the development of the community. It is a lateral method of injecting
creative fluids into the society

10
ARCHITECTURAL CHALLENGES
1.Recognizing the magnitude of incorporation into the education institute
that will take place in the future generation and provide scope for it.
2.Addressing issues of flexibility and adaptability and creating an
environment that is pliable but not anonymous.
3.Experimenting with paradox between energy consciousness and
interactivity.
4.Addressing questions of identity and place making.
AIM: To develop sensitivity towards campus planning for tangential
educational strategies while incorporating concepts of interactivity with it.
MAJOR OBJECTIVES:
1.Understanding the ideology of the university and translating it into the built
up form.
2.Studying site and climate responsive design methods to find context
specific solutions.

11
3.Focus on aspects of site panning
4.Undertake a spatial analysis and detail out the building design.
5.Integrating infrastructure with a building program
6.Integrating technology with the building program.

METHODOLOGY

14
IDEAL CAMPUS
The campus is the physical environment created when building is constructed to
allow the idea to flourish. A campus has been compare to a city on a small scale
because it provides most of the need for the communication. Unlike a city,
however, the campus is non commercial and primarly a place of study. The
campus therefore, ought to be a closely with unifide cluster of buildings with
intimate pedestrians open spaces providing a unique environment for living and
studing it should ideally be a quiet, comfortable, busy, noisy, conjested

15
World in the sense a campus should be more liker with residential, suburb or
dark than a city.
Each of these zones requires different and special study design techniques to
plan energy efficient building.
The energy requirement of building depends upon various factors like comfort
levels, location of buildings, usage of buildings etc.

16. To take care of health safety
17. To create a desirable environment to perform activities inside and
outside the building so as to improve the efficiency and comfort of the user
with an aesthetical background
DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION DATA
OPENINGS AND WINDOWS
Relatively small operating reduce immense radiation. Windows should be
shifted from kech radiation and set high to protect from ground radiation.
Openings should be tight closing as protection against high durnal heat. External
shades are preferred. Openings should be located as S, N, and to a lesser degree,
on E side.

18
WALLS
Walls of daytime living area should of heat storing materials; walls of night
use rooms of materials with light heat capacity. E and W walls should
preferably be shaded high reflective qualities are desirable for both thermal
and solar radiation.

19
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

20
SHADING
Devices should be separate from the structure and exposed to wind convention.

21
BASIC COMPONENTS OF THE CAMPUS

22
GROWTH AND CHANGE
Campus design must anticipate, as nearly as possible, the nature of probable
growth and change. Providing flexibility and indeterminacy, is perhaps that
greatest challenge to the Architect. There are three major aspects to growth and
change.
i. First is this overall growth or expansion of facilities caused by increasing
enrollment.
ii. Second is differential growth that occur in various areas of the campus
along with overall growth
iii. The third aspect is the internal flexibility required for changing uses of
spaces and services
A coherence and sense of identity for all parts must be maintained in the design
as a whole while certain parts remain incomplete. To do so demands a
discipline, a kind of pre designed matrix or systems fabric that will insure order
in future development, without being too restrictive

23
SIZE
The ideal size for a campus depends upon individual circumstances.
i. The demands on the campus
ii. The location of the campus, the type of instruction all influence the size.
Experience has shown that when an ultimate size was predetermined the
university often continued to grow beyond what was originally considered
best.
iii. A major controlling factor is walking distance. Ten minutes from hostel to
classroom is considered a maximum allowable walking distance. Three to
five minutes is optimum. When growth endangers convenience, comfort
and efficiency.

24
EFFECTIVE THEORY OF PLANNING AND DESIGN
BUILDING COMPLEXES

25
HUMAN NEEDS

26
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 may 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

27
iii. Monsoon rains that should have influenced oriented 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 so that those needs may be met.
DIFFERENT PATTREN OF GROWTH
1.CONCENTERIC PATTREN OF GROWTH
2.THE ZONAL PATTREN OF GROWTH
3.MOLECULAR PATTREN OF GROWTH
4.LINEAR PATTREN OF GROWTH

28
CONCENTRIC PATTREN OF GROWTH
The central area of “core” of the campus be comes tightly enclosed and
successive rings of development shut in and prevent selective expansion.
THE ZONAL PATTREN OF GROWTH
Typical plan; zones allocated specifically to academic, residential or
recreational; handicapping [something that hinders or is a disadvantage] or
something integration of campus activities.

29
MOLECULAR PATTREN OF GROWTH
Growth accomplished thru addition of self contain units or molecules, each a
microcosm of the whole. The campus is complete at each stage of growth, but
the system is perhaps limited a many centered campus rather than centralized
type.

30
LINEAR PATTERN OF GROWTH
The pattern chosen for the university , the central core can expand at either end
as the university grows; existing elements extends outwards and grow
independently of one another. New ones are added to extensions of the core,
which never becomes shut in as in the concentric pattern.

31
 Approximate ½ mile diameter [10 minute walking distance]
 Circulation routes

LANDSCAPE AND DESIGN ELEMENTS IN CAMPUS
Landscaping is more than just “the view”. It can be the ever changing backdrop
to our daily lives, as much as the places we seek out for leisure. It can mean a
park, a piece of wasteland, a beach, a mountain, a forest.
The space between university building if properly designed, provide areas where
people may congregate informally between classes for decision and ret or where
they can gather in large areas to participate in sports and other physical
activities.
Landscape is a part in designing which helps in beautifying and emphasis the
balance of nature; it also helps in the well being of a person.
An ideal campus ought to be a closely knit, unified cluster of buildings with
infinite pedestrian, open spaces providing a unique environment for living and

35
studying, it should ideally be a quiet, comfortable oasis part from the normally
busy and congested world.

CAMPUS GATEWAYS
Campus gateways are significant institutional symbols and define the campus
precinct. Landmarks associated with campus entries raise the quality of the
campus entry, and serves to bolster and identifiable image of the campus.

38
BUILDING ENTRANCES`
Building entrances allow for a visual transition from exterior to interior
environments.
PEDESTRIAN CROSSROADS AND PLAZAS
Campus crossroads and plazas are defined as places where pedestrian walkways
intersect. These “hubs” are important for the functional, social and visual role

39
that they represent on campus, and it is therefore desirable that the form of
treatment encourages social interaction and contributes to the visual character of
campus.
PATHWAYS
The campus wide system of pathways is a comprehensive and effective system
of linkages to buildings, parking and activity sites , and helps to organize the
form and pattern of other campus development.
THE PARKING

40
Although parking areas primarily serve a singular land use of accommodation
parking cars, they can include pedestrian circulation and landscape features as
well. Parkings are constructed according to type of vechiles i.e two wheeler and
four wheeler parking. There are different type of parking angles
 30* Parking angle
SITTING SPACES

41
Develop a common vocabulary of site walls for siting, retaining, grade, edging
planting areas, security and for other design purpose. The common architectural
vocabulary for walls should be compatible with campus facilities, paving and
other site and campus improvements.
The height, materials and design of site walls should reflect the character of
campus buildings.
OPEN SPACES

42
 Pleasant surroundings and amenity
 Community regeneration
 Enjoyment and recreation
 Education

SITE FURNISHINGS
The campus environment can be improved greatly with the addition of campus
furnishings that would enhance campus life and appearance. The style of
campus furnishings should integrate traditional and contemporary design styles
by using traditional materials in a contemporary design context. Furnishings
should be built of durable materials to reduce maintainence effort. They must be
easy to access and easy.

43
PAVINGS
Paving colors, patterns and textures should be complementary to campus
facilities and infrastructure.
Paving will provide attractive settings for pedestrians activities and building
enteries
The location and design of accent paving will imply special use and circulation
zones.

44
Special pedestrian areas along streetscapes should receive larger areas of accent
paving i.e corners, entry areas and possible crossing locations.
PLANTING
Developing a hierarchy of landscape materials to distinguish key areas of the
campus and to reflect site-specific functional objectives [shade, buffering, solar
access/climate control, etc] Reinforce campus edges streetscapes with simple
and memorable linear planting patterns of canopy trees that reflect circulation
patterns of canopy trees that reflect circulation patterns and reinforce the
campus perimeter.

45
Emphasizing campus entries with ornamental shrub plantings and accent trees to
establish unique color ad form to complement architectural features. Establish
pockets of native/low maintenance landscape materials in low-use areas to save
costs, conserve water and to reinforce planting appearance and technology.
GENERAL SIZES
The type of college depends upon on regional and local factors so that it is not
really possible to give absolute sizes for systems. The figures cover both part
time and full time students; as an appropriate guidelines and depending on the
area served, there are 2000-6000 pupils per 60,000 -150,000 inhabitants. Owing
to the large catchment areas.

46
SITE- At least 10m square per part time student and at least 25 m square per
full time student of college site area, as far as possible free from pollution from
noise, smoke, odour, and dust. Ensure a good shaped site and the possibility for
extension. Arrangement on the site, type of construction and building design
depend on sizes of the spaces that can be accommodated on several levels.[
classrooms for general subjects, specialist subjects, administration ] and those
which cannot areas for non academic work eg- workshops and sports area.
College buildings are as a rule 2-3 storeys , higher than it only in exceptional
cases. Workshop buildings with heavy machines or frequent deliveries are single
storey only.
ACCESS- Entrance areas and foyer with central facilities used as circulation
space connecting horizontal and vertical movement in general school centres or
comprehensive schools. Teaching areas divided according to type of teaching
and their space requirements. General purpose teaching areas occupy 10-20% of
the space. General classroom as normal with 50-60 m square , small classrooms
45-50 m square , over size classrooms 85m sq. possibility open –plan

47
classrooms doubling as a film or lecture hall of 100-200m sq. building
requirements , furnishings and fittings basically the same as for general school
centres and comprehensive schools. An assembly room of 20m sq per 5 normal
classes
CENTERAL FACILITIES-
Main lecture theatres, ceremonial hall, administration dean’s office union
buildings also libraries, refectories, sports facilities, halls of residence, parking.
Technical facilities for centeral service supply.
Boiler room, service supply.
Subject –specific teaching and research facilities.
Basic facilities for all subjects
Lecture theatres for basic and special lectures, seminar and group room [ some
with PC workstations] for in depth work. Departmental libraries, study rooms
for academic staff, meeting rooms, exam rooms, etc.

48
 Subject specific room requirements
 Humanities ; no particular requirements
 Technical/ Artistic subjects, eg. Architecture, art, music etc. rooms for
drawing, studios, workshops, rehearsal and assembly rooms of all kinds.

 Scientific and medical subjects, eg. Chemistry, biology, anatomy,
physiology, hygine, pathology, etc. labs with adjoining function rooms,
workshops, rooms for keeping animals and for long time experiments.

49
LECTURE THEATRES
It is preferable to group larger lecture theatres for centeral lectures in separate
complexes. Smaller lecture theatres for lectures on specialist subjects are better
in the individual department and institute buildings. Access to the lecture theatre
is separated from the research facilities, with short routes and seating entrances
can be behind the top row and larger theatres can also have them in the centre on
each side. Lecturers enter at the front, from the preparation room, from where
equipment carrying the experimental animals can also be trollied into the lecture
theatre.

50
Usual sizes for lecture theatres ; 100,150,200,300,400,600,800 seats. Theatres
with up to 200 seats have a ceiling height of 3.50m and are integrated into
departmental buildings, if larger they are better in separate building .
 Lecture theatre for subjects involving writing on chalkboards and
projection have seating on shallow rake
 Demonstration lecture theatres for science subjects have experimental
benches and seating steeply racked.
 Medical demonstration lecture theatres, anatomy theatres, have steeply
raked seating.
Seating in lecture theatres; combined units of tip up or swing seats , back rest
and writing ledge [with shelf or hook for folders], usually fixed.
Seating arrangement depending on the subject, number of students and teaching
method; slide lectures, electro acoustic systems on a gentle rake; surgery,
internal medicine, physics on a steep rake, view curve calculated using graphic
or analytic methods.

51
Amount of space per student depends on type of seat, depth of writing shelf and
rake of floor.
Amount of space per student; for seating in comfort 70x65cm and on average
60x80= 55x75cm.0.60m sq needed per student including all spaces in larger
lecture theatre under the most cramped conditions in smaller lecture theatres
and in average comfort 0.80-0. 95m sq

53
ACOUSTICS AND LIGHTNING
Sound should reach each member of the audience with equal amplitude without
any echo. Suspended ceilings for reflection and absorption . rear walls lined with
sound absorbent material, other walls smooth. Light level in a windowless
lecture theatre.

54
DIFFERENT TYPES OF LECTURE HALLS

55
BASIC ROOM REQUIREMENT FOR ALL SUBJECTS
General purpose seminar rooms usually have 20,40,50or 60 seats, with movable
double desks[width 1.20m,depth 0.60m] space required per student 1.90-2.00m
Different arrangements of desks for lectures , group work, colloquiums
language’s labs pc labs and meeting rooms have the same space requirements

as drawing table , surface can also be use to put things on work surface. A
small cupboard on castors for drawing materials. Possibly with filing
cabinet, is desirable. Adjustable height swivel chair on castors. Drawing
Tables, upright board adjustable height or useable as flat board when folded
down

58
DRAWING STUDIOS
Each space required 3.5 – 4.5M sq. Depending on the size of each table.
Natural lightning is preferable and so north facing studio is best to receive
even day light. For right handed people it is best if illumination comes from
the left artificial light should be at 500LX with 1000LX (From mounted
drawing lamps or linear lamps hung in variable positions above the long
axis of table) at the drawing surface.

59

1/4 of floor space) and if necessary, additional top light
LABORATORIES
ACCORDING TO USE

60
Laboratories for teaching and practicals , comprising no of work stations,
usually with simple basic equipment.
Research labs are usually in smaller spaces with special equipment and
additional rooms for activities such as weighing and majoring , centrifuges
and autoclaves, washing up , climatised and cooled storage rooms with
constant temperature , photographic rooms / dark rooms etc.

61
VENTILATION
Ventilation systems have the highest space requirement of all services.
Labs where chemicals are used must have artificial air supply and
extraction. Air changes per hour-
Chem. labs 8
Biology labs 4
Physics lab 3-4

62
LIBRARIES
Libraries perform a range of functions in society. Academic libraries for
example, obtain, collect and store literature for education and research
purposes, and store usually open to the general public. Public libraries
provides communities with wide choice of more general literature and other
information media, with as much as possible displayed on open shelves.
University libraries are organized in either one or two layers. The one layer
system is administered centrally and normally has few separate branch or
subject libraries. The two layer system includes a central library and usually
a large number of faculty , subject and usually a large number of faculty,
subject and institutional libraries. The stock is held on open shelves in
reading rooms or in accessible book stacks as well in restricted access
closed stacks. the number of book shelves depend upon type of
organization, accessibility for users, type of shelving, the system of subject
ordering in use and its method of installation, the separation of different
formats .Reading rooms areas, with space for reading and working, should

63
be accessible and therefore situated on few levels as possible. This also aids
be to transport. There should be a clear directional system with easily read
signs giving direction to service and book shelves.
Circulation routes should be >1.2m wide and spaces between shelves at
least 1.3-1.4m wide accordance to local regulations. Access to reading
rooms can be through control equipped with book security equipment.

Sector- 14, CHANDIGARH
PANJAB UNIVERSITY is a public collegiate university located in
Chandigarh, India. It originated in 1882, but was established in 1947,
making it one of the oldest universities in India.
The university has 75 teaching and research departments and 15
departments at the main campus located at Chandigarh. It has 190 affiliated
colleges spread over the eight districts of Punjab state and union territory of
Chandigarh, with regional centres at Muktsar, Ludhiana, and Hoshiarpur
cities in Punjab state.
The campus is residential, spread over 550 acres [2.2km sq.] in sector 25
and 14 of the city of Chandigarh. The main administrative and academic

74
Buildings are located in sector 14, beside a health centre, a sports complex,
hostels and residential housing.

HISTORY OF PANJAB UNIVERSITY
The present day Panjab university traces its roots to the university of the Punjab
established on 14 october 1882 at Lahore [now in Punjab, Pakistan]. Most of the
colleges affiliated to the university of Punjab were in the present Indian part
British India.
After the partition of india in 1947, the university was split into two for Indian
Punjab and Pakistani Punjab. A new university was then established/relocated in
Punjab, India in 1947. To distinguish the two, the name of university on the
Indian side, the spelling for ‘Punjab’ was changed to Panjab. After 1947 the
university the university had no campus of its own for nearly a decade. The
administrative office was in solan and the teaching departments functioned from
Hoshiarpur, Jalandhar, Delhi, and Amritsar.
In 1956 the university was relocated to Chandigarh, on a red sandstone campus
designed by Pierre Jeanneret under the guidance of the lengendary Le
Coubusier. Until the re-organization of punjab in 1966, the university had its
regional centres at Rohtak, Shimla, Jalandhar and its affiliated colleges were in

80
the states of Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pardesh and the U.T of Chandigarh.
With the re-organization of Punjab, the university became an Inter-State body
corporate catering to the newly organized state of Punjab and union-territory of
Chandigarh.
CAMPUS
Signifying the spirit of modern intellect, the Panjab University ushered in the
dawn of a new future. Its chequerboard master plan, a brain child of swiss
French architect Pierre Jeannert, was a pace setter and the role model for campus
design in India.
The main campus at Chandigarh is spread over 550 acres in the sectors 25 and
14, the teaching area area is the NORTH-EAST, with the centeral library, fine
arts museum and three winged structure of the Gandhi bhawan forming its core;
The sports complex, the health centre, and the shopping centre in the middle;

81
16 university hostel and the residential area in the SOUTH-EAST, stretching
into the adjacent sector 25 which also houses the University institute of
Engineering and technology and Dr. Harvansh singh judge institute of dental
sciences and hospital, UIAMS, institute of biological sciences etc.

82
As a self sustaining township, the campus has ameneties like state bank of india,
post and telegraph office, public transport system, open air theatre, guest and
faculty houses, seminar complexes, staff club, several spacious lawns, botanical

PEC UNIVERSITY (PUNJAB ENGINEERING COLLEGE)
INTRODUCTION
Punjab Engineering College is one of India's pre-eminent institutions in
the field of applied sciences, particularly engineering and technology. It
is located in the Union Territory ofChandigarh and was founded in
1921—making it one of the oldest engineering college in India. The
Director of the university is Dr.Manoj K Arora. The campus is spread in
146 acres (59 ha), Urban.

146
HISTORY
PEC was established in 1921 in Mughalpura, a suburban area of Lahore,
Punjab, erstwhile British India as the Mughalpura Technical College. In
1923, the name was changed to Maclagan Engineering College to honor
Sir Edward Maclagan, the then Governor of the Punjab, who laid the
foundation stone of the building.
In 1932 the institution became affiliated with the University of the
Punjab for awarding a bachelor's degree in Engineering. After partition
in 1947, the college was relocated to Roorkee in India and was renamed
as East Punjab College of Engineering. In the year 1950 the word East
was dropped. Towards the end of December 1953, the college shifted to
its present campus in Chandigarh to function under the Government of
Punjab. In 1966, with the formation of the Union Territory of
Chandigarh, the college came under the control of the Government of
India through the Chandigarh Administration. In October 2003, the

147
Government of India recognized the college as a Deemed University and
thereafter it became known as Punjab Engineering College (Deemed
University). In 2009, the Board of Governors renamed the institution as
PEC University of Technology.
However, as per a recent notification released by the University Grants
Commission(India), the institution has been ordered to drop the word
"University" from its name. The institute has reverted to its former name
Punjab Engineering College (Deemed-to-be-University). IIT status for
the institution is also in the talks.
In 1994 this institution was adjudged the best technical college in India
by the National Foundation of Engineers. It occupies an area of 146
acres. Up to 1962, the college consisted of three departments of Civil,
Electrical and Mechanical Engineering. Thereafter the college expanded
and offers Bachelor of Engineering degrees in various specializations.

148
Highway Engineering was the first post-graduate course offered by the
college, commencing in 1957. Presently there are eleven post-graduate
courses leading to a Masters of Engineering degree. Facilities for post-
graduate studies exist for regular as well as for part-time students. The
college has facilities for research work leading to the award of Ph.D.
degree in engineering in certain selected fields of different disciplines.
The college also offers consultancy services in different disciplines.

been in place since 1972. A two-tier scheme has been in effect from
1985. The 10-semester course is offered in two tiers: Stage One, from
first to sixth semester or three years and Stage Two, from seventh to
tenth semester or two years. Stage One consists of theoretical subjects,
tutorials, workshop practice and studio work for a basic grounding in the
knowledge about architecture and its tools and skills. Stage Two
comprises a six-month practical training followed by a large number of
elective courses and studies of urban design, professional practice, town-
planning and a thesis. In 1998, the program was modified to introduce
more interdisciplinary courses and upcoming themes like building
automation and sustainable design.
