Site Planning Principles adopted in the project
The Site, part of a sugar industry campus, included a small preexisting primary school for the industry’s workers. The new school was to be built for extending the class strength to Class 8 and was planned to be extended into the adjoining greens. But the new building was planned as a compact facility around courtyards for light and ventilation preserving most of the green area as play areas for children.
