Educational Institutions across the globe are designed to facilitate the engagement of young minds by creating interactive environments that blend study, activity and play areas. The GD Goenka group’s philosophy is to reinvent the school experience by creating the best physical infrastructure per global standards. The one-acre site sits on a fairly busy road, which mandated a prerequisite of a sound-proof building.

The Primary wing houses administration, classrooms, music and dance studios. Half an acre of the total site area is demarcated for the sports facilities, and the remaining half accommodates the academic facilities and the parking. The entire built volume is lifted on stilts, where children can embark and disembark safely from the bus onto the ground floor that houses the main school. With limited ground coverage, a simple C-shaped plan allows for developing a modular string of well-ventilated, glare-free classrooms on a singly-loaded typology of corridors.

A four-floor high screen encloses the central zone and has a rubberised floor patterned to be used for gymnastics and other indoor sports. The architectural vocabulary uses traditional materials like Dholpur and Agra stone juxtaposed with transient materials like Aluminum and glass. Aiming to establish an external visual character in sync with the colours of Delhi, typical brick patterns are done away with in favour of the local Dholpur stone and Agra stone.
