SR University - CS Blocks and Central Pavilion

Situated within the booming IT hub of Warangal, Telangana, the Computer Science Blocks of SR University span 2,70,000 sq.ft, designed to accommodate 4,500 students of  B.Tech, M.Tech and PhD, across branches like Data Science and Artificial Intelligence. The masterplan aligns with the SRIX block—a technology business incubator—and strategically extends its axis to connect with the Central Pavilion. This pavilion serves as the epicenter for collaborative events such as hackathons, lectures, and student gatherings. The zoning and massing are guided by student movement patterns, seamlessly integrating with the campus’s existing layout. This thoughtful spatial planning fosters organic interactions and positions the facility as a key enabler of innovation and collaboration. Integrating Nature Into the Built Environment

The architectural response respects the site's ecological integrity, preserving existing peepal, neem and teak trees. The resulting courtyards and shaded interaction zones offer natural social hubs, creating a biophilic connection between learning and the environment.

Adaptive and Collaborative Learning Spaces

Breaking down the program for modularity and operational efficiency, the design distributes the functions across multiple buildings instead of a single large structure. This approach enhances pedagogical flexibility, accommodating the diverse and expanding streams of CSE and AI.

Beyond conventional learning spaces, the design introduces collaborative classrooms that revolutionize the educational experience. These spaces feature unconventional furniture layouts designed to encourage group discussions, brainstorming sessions, and debates among students, fostering a culture of teamwork and critical thinking.
