Institutional campuses:

In Indian cities, according to present urban conditions we find that the

Institution areas are the only places remaining that have scope for

green cover in addition to the designated few green parks which from a

major part of total green spaces with in city.

With the increase in rate of urbanization, these are the areas which are now

looked upon as potential areas for maximum Green thus

acting as green lungs & rainwater recharge zones for

the city

LANDSCAPE MASTER PLAN

Minimizing the impact of hot climate reducing the heat gain & radiation. Increase the ground water recharge & continue contributing to the adjoining stream ecologyUse of Native species & showcase the wide distinct variety of vegetation in the state.

Design aims for sustainable / cost effective principles
