The learning spaces and the activity or extracurricular areas encourage interpersonal contact between the students. Each learning space is organized around an outdoor court which enables the extension of the indoor space into the outdoors either for additional activities or to accommodate more students at a time within the same space. Each of the classrooms which are occupied through most part of the day is climatically oriented and houses a tree in the outdoor court, making spaces comfortable to inhabit through the year through passive ventilation.
The spaces are further held together with a strong design language of exposed cement finishes, pigmented walls and Jaali brick openings which merge the interior and exteriors. The flooring in all the main rooms is planned in Kota stones and the common corridors are planned with IPS.
