The Sri Dashmesh Academy in Anandpur Sahib, India is a 200-acre international residential school completed in 1982. The site has a gradual 5-6 meter slope that was incorporated into the school's design. The campus is divided into zones for academic, residential, recreational, and service areas. Academic blocks are connected and arranged in an irregular geometry. Sports facilities are located on the outskirts to reduce noise disturbance. The service blocks are clustered away from the main site. Pathways lined with trees and shrubs connect the different areas and buildings throughout the campus.
