KREA UNIVERISTY

Academic block

The academic block is strategically located facing the open air theatre, in close proximity to the existing academic block.  It is connected by shaded walkways on one end with space for future expansion and the sports zone on the other. The basic concept revolves around the landscaped court facing the OAT leading to the central common spine by a shaded walkway. This spine seamlessly blends into the landscape with seating & informal interactive spaces for students.  The spine has two wings on either side -Library on two levels and Labs on the ground floor &  faculty zone on the first floor. The library & faculty cabins make the most of the panoramic views of the campus. The terrace is an extension of the landscaped court with space for community  crate farming thereby further activating the spaces.

Hostel Block

The new hostel block is part of the existing residential zone of the campus with centrally located dining & student hub. The block is only the first of the future 3 blocks and faces the N-S orientation predominantly. The central permeable space connects the interactive spaces to the landscape with entry points & common kitchen in the lower level & common rooms in the upper levels. This block also houses the medical centre on the lower end. The corridors are only limited to a length of two twin sharing rooms on either side with ample natural lighting in the ends to avoid long, monotonous straight doubly loaded feel. The typical rooms module is an efficient plan with a set of twin rooms sharing common toilets with privacy intact but also lending itself for informal interaction nooks. All the rooms enjoy the open landscaped views of the campus. The new residential zone is planned with pedestrian friendly spaces blending landscaped plazas & interactive spaces, limiting the vehicular movement only to the periphery.
