The architectural plan divides the given area into two main departments; the education department and the management department. At the main entrance, there is appropriate place for parking, designed keeping in mind the green factor. For setting up classrooms, different floors have been well planned and each class room is designed for easy accessibility.

The management department is a quiet and isolated place and functions independently. Natural light and air is provided to multipurpose halls like sports hall and office hall, making them self sufficient for light and air conditioning. External windows are placed by studying the directions of the sun in order to utilize maximum direct light. Demountable glass walls are purposed for dividing office space into various sections rather than walls. Natural light and air is efficiently used, cutting down the energy cost, which would otherwise sum to a huge amount.
