AXIS COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING & TECHNOLOGYA Framework for campus planning

2.
“A first challenge in the design of a new campus is not tocreate new buildings, but to create a shared vision”.

3.
Buildings and Spaces that PromoteIntellectual and Social Exchange.The purpose of a campus is to bring together diversepeople and their ideas in an environment that createspotential for intellectual and social exchange.

4.
EXISTINGENTRANCE TO THE CAMPUSVISIONCampus entrance should be visible tothose arriving on the campus, andshould contribute to the life andactivity of streets and walks.The choice of material should be moresensitive , since it’s located in greensurrounding . Guard room looks out ofplace , with different material usage. Grand entranceProper monitoring of publicmovement

5.
ENTRANCE ROADEXISTING VISIONSensitive landscaping with properslope correction required.Usage of local flora and faun to addcolour to the entrance , to make itmore vibrant and lively .

EXISTING BUILDINGSBUILDING 103 ANALYSIS“A building is not just a frame to beerected. It is itself a device forcultivating communication.”Buildings in campus should reflect thePhilosophy of the university throughits architectural expression .Façade can be amalgamation of globalas well as cultural expressions.Use of different materials on facadecan make buildings much vibrant andinteresting .Canopy at the entrance will add morewarmth and make the entrance moreinteractive.

9.
EXISTING BUILDINGSBUILDING 104Building entrances are frequently themeeting places, and gathering places ofthose using buildings, and should bedesigned to encourage interaction.

“Open spaces, in the form ofcourtyards and landscaped greenareas, should be the buildingblocks of the campus, and theyshould be the focus of thecampus neighborhoods.”NEEDINTEGRATED SUSTAINABILITY CONCEPT

12.
LANDSCAPE, STREETSCAPE & SIGNAGEThe campus palate of landscapematerials, walkways, lighting, signage andstreet furniture must be used on all publicspaces that are part of building projects.These elements should be used to createboth active gathering and contemplativespaces, and to reinforce linkages andgateways within the campus and at its edge.EXISTING NEED

13.
LANDSCAPE, STREETSCAPE & SIGNAGENEEDStreet lighting enhances thelandscape and make those spacesusable in evenings as well.Hoardings, sign boards, directionalboards, bill boards, neon signbards, banners etc. have becomesymbols of present day urban scapeand important instruments ofoutdoor publicity and public“Signages help in path finding for anynewcomer in the campus. “

14.
LANDSCAPE, STREETSCAPE & SIGNAGENEEDWhile the physical character andquality of a campus is defined byboth its buildings and its openspace, it is the open space whichhas the greatest potential forunifying and equalizing the sharedspace of the campus.“Design must reflect respectto pedestrians and physicallychallenged people.”

15.
LANDSCAPE – INTERACTIVE SPACESNEEDEXISTINGSpaces between the buildings can beused as landscape courtyards which willadd vibrancy to the space.Exposed piping need to be concealedwith landscaping elements , to give anicer view .Piping should be concealed rather thanon the façade.

16.
LANDSCAPE – INTERACTIVE SPACESEXISTING NEEDStreet furniture for students –interactive spaces.Soft and hard landscapeUn-utilized spaces in-between the buildings.

17.
COMMITMENT TO ACCESSIBILITYNEEDEXISTINGBuildings required to be barrier –freemust comply with all requirementsdesigned to assist person withphysical , sensory and developmentdisabilities.Access from the exterior to thebuildings and movement throughoutthe interior of the building shall be bya barrier –free path of travel.Barrier free

18.
EXISTINGBEAUTIFICATION OF EXISTING STRUCTURENEEDExposed structural beams can be a partof landscape with creepers hanged onthem, which will give a nicer view fromthe classrooms and courtyard below.

19.
BEUTIFICATION OF EXISTING STRUCTUREEXISTING NEEDStructure need revamping withrespect to the elevational elements .

20.
THE WATER CONSERVATIONA System can be suggested to collect andforce rainwater to filter into theground, applied in all roadsides andgreen areas in streets throughout theCampus which will have an interestinglandscape and earth profile as shown inthe picture here.

21.
ENERGY : SOLAR POWEROne of the most important sourcesof energy i.e. the solar energy canbe collected by means of solarenergy panels installed on the roofterrace of the building which canbe taken into account at the timeof design and the energy thusretained can be used in getting thehot water supply, cooking andemergency lighting etc. Thepictures showing installed systemscan be referred to.

22.
Solar street lights are recommendedfor the main road .28 street lights each having 11 W CFL(compact fluorescent light) tube lightcovering 5 m radius area arerecommended.Total expected annual electricalsavings from each light would be 48kWh.Each light would cost Rs 22 000 Solarwater heating systemSOLAR STREET LIGHTS

23.
Solar water heating system of 200 litper day capacity is recommended forhostels.A solar flat plate collector basedsystem with an electrical back up of 3kW is recommended.Each solar water heating systemwould save 2450 kWh of electricalenergy per annum.A solar water heating system wouldcost between Rs 30000 and 40000,such buildings save 55.75% energyover conventional buildings.SOLAR WATER HEATER

24.
The clean, litter free public spacesadd to the pleasant builtenvironment.Thus the design , location andmaintenance of public amenitiessuch as public toilets, garbagebins, bus stops, etc. determine thequality of public spaces.PUBLIC AMENITIES

25.
INTERIORSEXISTING NEEDExisting interiors are very basic andbland.To make an world class institute theentrance foyer should be attractivekeeping with the functional aspects.

26.
INTERIORSEXISTING NEEDClassroom are yet to be properlyarranged with required lighting andorderly furniture .Classroom need better furniture andrequire wall treatment .The wall plaster is raking off and thecrakes are visible .

27.
INTERIORSEXISTING NEEDLecture hall does not have anyfurniture and the board is small asper the area of the hall.Lecture hall function on the steppedsitting format , because the lengthat time is too large for the laststudents to understand the Teacher.No furniture

28.
INTERIORSEXISTING NEEDCentral space of the building should bemore interactive , with generalinformation to students .The interior design and concept isunderpinned by four key principles; thecareful consideration of the interiorform, selection of materials, applicationof colour and the utilization of naturalCentral Courtyard

29.
INTERIORSEXISTINGToiletscentral courtyardspaceInterior spaces needto designed accordingto the requirement.

30.
Each project should undertake a comprehensive analysis to diminish the use of energyand reduce the use of non-renewable resources.Creating a campus environment that moves beyond merely sustainable, to one thatactively improves the quality of life and the environment for its users is the need ofthe hour.The goals should include:• Reducing dependence on non-renewable resources by using appropriate recycledmaterials and by promoting adaptive reuse of existing structures.• Reducing marginal energy costs by promoting selection of locally manufactured orfabricated products and materials.•Sitting new structures mindful of orientation, shading and the effect on adjacentbuildings and spaces .•Using landscape design to create healthy and ecologically appropriatespaces, provide pleasant outdoor environments, reduce exterior lighting demand andminimize storm water runoff.Responsible Use of Energy and Natural Resources

31.
•Minimizing maintenance and operating costs by employing whole-systems lifecycleevaluation to determine the true project costs, and by integrating innovativeday lighting and building engineering solutions at project inception.• Improving indoor environmental quality•Adopting monitoring, measuring and feedback systems to establish baselines ofenergy usage and building performance, against which the university can evaluateimprovements and set goals for future projects.• Maximizing building flexibility to satisfy the varied demands of current and futureusers and residents.• Reduce energy consumption of building and site systems (HVAC, hotwater, lighting)through the use of appropriate mechanical and constructiontechnology (natural cooling, light recovery, passive solar design, etc.)•The construction, as well as design, process should also respect these goals.
