Campus Plan

Introduction
the Roman architect Vitruvius wrote that architecture should provide
firmness, commodity, and delight. It is the definition of delight
that still troubles us today. This is especially so on college
campuses. Many who try to give voice to what it is that brings delight
in a building or an arrangement of buildings may mention the design,
the placement on the site, the choice of building materials, the
ornamentation, or the landscaping. But mostly its just a feeling, or
a sense that things are arranged just right, or a sensation of
pleasure that comes over us. So academics, like nearly everyone else,
often are unsure when planning for new campus construction about what
is likely to be delightful.
That each campus should be an academical village was one of Thomas
Jeffersons finest architectural insights. Higher learning is an
intensely personal
enterprise, with young scholars working closely with other scholars,
and students sharing and arguing about ideas, religious beliefs,
unusual
facts, and feelings. A human scale is imperative, a scale that
enhances
collegiality, friendships, collaborations on research.
Scale, not style, is the essential element in good campus design. Of
course, if an inviting, charming campus enclosure can be combined with
excellent, stylish buildings so much the better.
Aristotles idea of a good urban community as a place where people
live a common life for a noble end.
Aim: Propose a master plan for the future development of the campus

Objective:

Methodology:
Results of Campus Survey
Buildings Issues Summarized Changes that could be implemented
Administration Parking reorganize parking on campus
Dept. of Mechanical engineering lab -workshop interconnectivity,expansion suggested, new workshop proposed 6 storey near canteen
landscaping, parking needed for 60

Dept. of Electrical engineering expansion suggested,solar panels suggested to reduce load replace heat engines lab with 7 storey research facility and machine lab
on external supply

Dept. of Industrial engineering operating out of mechanical department new structure

Dept. of Electronics & Communication interior redesign, new mtech program operating on terrace civil lab to be demolished to create 4 storey research facility for EC
floor, connectivity between blocks from inside?

Dept. of M.C.A one more lab required, conference room, bigger library, one more lab required, conference room, bigger library, ladies amenties,
ladies amenties, recreational space, cafeteria, buffer space recreational space, cafeteria, buffer space for classrooms abutting road
for classrooms abutting road
Dept. of Computer Science & existing facilities shared with IISR, else sufficient space.
engineering Central canteen needed, courtyard underutilised
Civil engineering no access between GF and FF, more facilities required staircase, new buildings include a 3 storey GTRC block and a Civil
laboratory,
Dept. of Physical Education requires more spaces drainage of existing grounds, fence required for existing ground, acquire
space next to DJ for tennis badminton, volley, courts, weight room, yoga
room, swimming pool
OAT requires shading

Common areas required

Canteen centrally located canteen needed
CLUBS Space not provided
General considerations
Access, circulation, parking pedestrian friendly roads needed,lorry entry for testing is Hierachy of roads established
through campus, transport on campus if motorised vehicles
are restricted
Waste disposal infrequent pickup leads to stagnation, limted bins Segregation of waste at more points, BIOGAS, STP
Security
Rainwater harvesting recharge, drainage
Views
Noise
Cleanliness Self flushing toilets
Vegetation Cutting of existing natural vegetation
Bring back the campus community spirit

Policies
Campus development committee, involving representatives at each level.
Bringing back democratic spirit. At the campus level is it easy to
Waste segregation at source, organic waste composting and its use.
Providing adequate housing, transport would reduce need for parking.
Arteria
Cricket grounds?
Jogging
Project parking demand
Rainwater pipes, river valley
