and energy of the students and staff, and thus
care is taken to use various Energy Efficient
Materials, including the interior spaces. The
grand fly-ash brick and concrete texture facade
welcomes the user, while stepping on to the
Kota stone flooring. Minimal glass is used on the
facade, so heat trapped inside is reduced. Doors
and furniture are made from particle boards.
Johnsons cool roof tiles have been used on the
terrace. There are solar panels placed on top of
the Sports and Infirmary blocks.
