Mass Paramedical College

What was built

An existing 10+2 school building refactored into a paramedical college: 25,000 sq ft over two floors on a 10,000 sq yd plot. The campus plan puts a hostel at the back, two front main gates, and a U-shaped road running to the college main building's gate. The existing structure was kept and re-purposed for the college's use rather than demolished, which is what refactoring means: change of use within standing walls.

How an engagement like this runs

An institutional engagement runs on two calendars: the academic one and the construction one. Presentation drawings resolve the campus logic, gates, movement and the block that keeps working; working drawings and structural follow block by block; supervision is phased so occupied wings are never closed for cosmetic work. Payment stages align with the committee funding cycle.

This is the practice’s standing method for the type, not a claim about this project. The stage sequence and payment triggers are on how we work.

Where this record stands

The practice’s archive is being documented project by project. For this entry, the record holds location, year, scale, the recorded brief, the owner-tagged archive photographs; still to be documented are the client consent that allows the story to publish.

This type of work

Schools, colleges and institutes, including buildings kept running while construction proceeded.
