Residential Schools in India have very different considerations and requirements than a day boarding school. The day boarding schools are responsible for the students from 8 AM to 4 Pm in terms of physical presence and activity surveillance. Residential schools have to take care of the students and are responsible for the children throughout the year. The focus areas on development and designing for residential schools have more to do with creating habitual spaces and environment for its occupants, security and monitoring throughout the campus, multiple activity and engagement spaces for students to look forward to after school hours,
Our school architects design the hostel block with the understanding of this block being the habitat of the students residing here for the better part of their growing years. The child should have all facilities and ambience that could simulate a feeling for home for them. The hostel comprises of multiple facility starting from comfortable rooms, library, study areas, resource center, recreational rooms, Audio visual space for weekly get together, stationary and general store, laundry spaces and clean restrooms. The hostel block shall be housing students from the age group of 8 years till 18 years thereby creating the need for development of various segregated spaces for security and operational convenience purpose.
Staff Accommodation are habitable spaces developed and constructed for staff along with their families who are required to reside within the campus on 24 hour basis to manage residential school operations better while being available to cater to all requirements for students in terms of after school hours remedial lessons, guiding for homework and preparation for examinations, after class practice for co-curricular activities, sports, co scholastic activities and hostel operation management. The staff along with their families are required to be provided the best of habitable space to feel the connection and the motivation to do the best of services for the school while implementing benchmark HR regulatory policies.
Our school architects very well understand the requirement for a good mess and food facility to be made available to the residing students. It is one of the major aspects that a parent is concerned and considerate about before finalizing for admission of their ward. They should rightly be as it forms an important aspect of a growing child. All residential school necessarily are required to have a dedicated and clean mess facility providing healthy and nutritious food to its students. In order to implement as mentioned above, it is important for the school to focus having a dedicated hostel kitchen equipped with the best of equipment and resource person to be able to deliver as per the meal plan. As school architects,
Students are required to be attended on priority in case of them feeling under the weather or for minor injuries they might suffer within the campus. For the same, a dedicated wellness and health center comprising of sick bay are designed by our school architects to ensure that adequate and necessary medical facilities are available
