A A FOCAL POINT ON CAMPUS
O
The assembly hall in the ground floor is a semi-circular open space that is defined at the periphery by continuous
built-in seating. The assembly hall today is used for multiple functions. Pull-down bamboo blinds provide an option to
close off the space during movie screenings.
The cantilevered library on the first floor provides adequate shading for the assembly hall below.
The library on the first and second floors has been designed as the focal point on campus, enabling students to
inculcate the joy of reading. The semi-circular building offers a sweeping view of the campus form within. Built-in
window seats bring out the joy of reading whilst looking out.
A partially double height space within the library is connected by a semi-circular metal and wood stairway in addition
to the external staircases provided. This stairway offers an interesting and even mysterious access to the second
floor which houses the quiet reading room leading out to a roof garden.
Currently the staff and children are growing vegetables in the roof garden thus making the campus self reliant.
