GUJARAT BIOTECHNOLOGY UNIVERSITY - ACADEMIC BLOCK
Architectural Design Competition Winner
In 2019, the Gujarat Biotechnology University - Admin & Academic Block project won an open competition organized by the Department of Science and Technology, Government of Gujarat. Set on a 10-acre campus, this building serves as the first step towards establishing a premier Educational and Research hub. Designed to foster interactions between young students and future PhD scholars, the building places future needs and ambitions at its core, with a strong emphasis on sustainability. The light-filled central circulation space, which encourages daily interactions, was a key design element recognized in the competition.
