International School – Arvind Varuna Associates

international school

The design of this day school is envisaged as two separate administration and academic blocks. Besides the offices, the admin block houses the students cafeteria on the 1st floor and a large multi-purpose auditorium, on the 2nd floor. Above this, the terrace level is used for sport activities with nets and mesh fencing.

The academic block is designed around a series of inner courts bringing in ample daylight. Classrooms are offset from the abutting corridor by smaller light courts, thus acting as a sound buffer.

The success in any school design is seeing the children relish their premises post occupancy, which is evident here.
