This Jesuit vocational training campus is among Hasmukh Patel’s most memorable projects. Clusters of hostels, workshops, classrooms and administrative buildings have been oriented for optimal breeze and shade and staggered to minimise transmission of noise and to enclose different scales of public space. It remains a beautiful campus, grown into its surroundings, but is actually best remembered for the ingenuity of its construction system.
