Campus Design
- The campus has been designed to promote eco-friendly transport and living.
- Cycle tracks connect all buildings and cycle stands are proposed in front of all buildings.
- The highest standards of safety and universal accessibility have been planned.
- The orientation of the buildings have been planned using detailed sun studies and use of concepts of solar passive architecture.
- Many of the areas that receive harsher sunlight have a second skin in the form of ventilated cladding.
- The project has been designed to be able to achieve a possible platinum rating from IGBC in the future. A gold rating at the very outset is almost ensured.
Building Systems
Building systems are proposed to be as eco-friendly and climate conscious as possible. Buildings and surroundings are proposed to be designed using IGBC Guidelines with an integrated way of green buildings incorporating:
