Project
AP206.S1.2000.PR01
Description:
This project series documents buildings for the Guru Jambheshwar University of Science and Technology in Hisar, India around 2000. The project consisted of the design of many new campus buildings, including the Administrative Block, offices, Health Centre, student and employee hostels, professors' houses and VIP houses, the Teaching Block, cafeteria, library, and University Works buildings. The University, previously known as Punjab Agricultural University, was established in 1995 by the Haryana state government and had a campus that sprawled over 372 acres. By 2007, around 200 acres had been developed with buildings and landscaping. Prakash had previously worked on projects for this campus, formerly known as the Punjab Agricultural University, in the 1960s. This project series contains the records for three buildings: the library, the Health Centre, and the Sports Hall. The library was notable for it's round shape, large entrance arch and domed skylight ceiling. The materials also emphasize the development of a large mural in the library depicting the astrological signs. The Health Centre was a diamond shaped building with an outdoor courtyard at its centre. The Sports Hall was a rectangular building with a trussed roof consisting primarily of an open, multipurpose space. This project is recorded through drawings, photographs of the finished buildings, and textual records dating from 2000-2007. The drawings are largely originals and include plans, sections, elevations, perspectives and details. The textual records consist of correspondence and a brochure on the campus construction program.
