We have approached  the requirement to design a library building in view of the 25 years celebration since the institute was established. At the outset we proposed landscape improvements from the entrance gate (including gate, signage and security) leading to the main college building and thereafter to the cafeteria, amphitheater and library complex. The road and pedestrian walkways form an important part of the landscape development including signage and lighting.
The library block creates a plaza to enter the library, amphitheater multi function hall and cafeteria – and hence focus points of arrival in axis to the college building at the east end. This plaza – Dr. Thimmaiah Square/ ‘T’ square would be where students can meet at the cafeteria, express themselves at the amphitheater, debate at the multi function hall and empower/equip themselves at the library.
