A university is considered to be a vital institution that determines the future minds of a society, so great importance has been given to design the campus that  would cater the fertile environment in bringing out such intelligence. For the students, ample outdoor space, open paved area, semi-open spaces are provided.

The cafeteria is located to the center of campus so that rich & vibrant campus events can be promoted. Clear functional & spatial segregation is reflected in the academic, admin, services, library & auditorium blocks. The academic block is split in to two levels  different from each other,

and clerestory lighting brings light in the circulation space making the space in-between interesting.

The public & intimate functional zoning is sequentially arranged .as a result the auditorium, library, admin etc are rather exterior, while the academic block is kept interior. Clear & efficient functional zoning has been made to cater smooth operation of the university as a whole.

The form is the result of the functional integration of the building.

Faculties are given clear & distinct expression in mass & volume. The main entrance is beneath the library thus reminding all,the importance of knowledge.

The entrance to the library itself is accentuated by elaborate stairs & ramps thus favoring learning and accumulation of knowledge
