6. Planning and Layout
 The planning is introvert in nature. The studio and
classrooms have been grouped together around a
Rectangular courtyard.
 The design studios are on the northern side of the
building. Entrance hall is a long rectangle in shape.
The Courtyard has not been well linked with rest of
the building.

7. Light and Ventilation
 The classrooms, studios are other spaces deeper on
north lights for their lighting. The lighting is good
during day time.
 Courtyard that could have been exploited for natural
lighting has not been used for such purpose.
 Ventilation is from small windows, which are present
on the outside walls. The north side windows are large
and near the ceilings.
