DFI | Sainik School, Gorakhpur
Type
STATUS
Under Construction
SIZE
25,000 sqft - 100,000 sqft
Proposed to be located in the historical and cultural node of Uttar Pradesh- Gorakhpur, the Sainik School is an administrative facility that will provide military training to the students who aspire to join the Indian Armed Forces. The students here will be offered admissions in 6th and 9th grade and will undergo formal training along with regular studies. The school is proposed on 50 acres of luscious green land with a major thoroughfare passing through its middle. This public roadway divided the entire site into two land parcels that organically offer two varied pockets of 14 acres and 36 acres, respectively, for the two specific requirements of Academics and Residential zones.
Emblematic of the valour of the Indian Freedom fighters, the built volumes are named after the brave revolutionaries of India. In the academic zone, the Sanik school accommodates the Maharana Pratap Academic Block, Chhatrapati Shivaji Auditorium, Maharaja Ranjit Singh Multipurpose Hall; and in the residential zone, it houses Bhagat Singh Chhatravas, Rajguru Chhatravas, Sukhdev Chhatravas and the Lala Lajpat Rai Bhojan Kaksh.
The Indian armed forces carry a massive disciplinary order, which has inspired clear, robust access and systematic linearity to how public buildings are laid out in this project. To make a stark approach, the longest available length has been utilised to create a visual axis, and all the building elements are aligned in reference to it. With the lateral access being the public road and the longitudinal access being the visual axis, a ceremonial plaza is created at the juncture where these two accesses meet. Taking inspiration from the disciplinary system suggested by the end-users, order and symmetry became the dominant feature of the design. The primary built volumes at the academic zone, namely- the Academic Block, Auditorium, Multipurpose Hall and at the residential area- Dining Hall, Girls Hostel, Boys Hostel, follow a replicating fashion in their orientation on both sides of the central plaza.
Since the plaza functions as the avenue that scholars take to reach the academic building, it has been marked as a commemoration area for the Indian Armed Forces. It is lined with memorabilia of various scores that celebrate the Forces’ victories and conquests. These mementoes of valour brought to the country by the Army are intended to boost inspiration and rigour in aspiring students.
The Sports facilities make a prominent part of an army school; therefore, the induced sports arena lies in close proximity to the Academic Block. It is planned in such a manner that it remains secluded from public view to offer privacy and negate the hustle and bustle of the thoroughfare. The staff quarters are located near the hostel blocks as the students are young middle school kids who would require a guiding influence throughout their training and stay at the Sainik School.
All the built volumes have been devised as modern buildings created with a design vocabulary of Colonial Architecture and a flavour of heritage. The structural system adopted in the Sainik School is the conventional beam-slab system. The main considerations for the structural design of this building project are constructability, stability, durability, economy and availability of materials. Ease of maintenance and meeting the desired aesthetics conceived while designing the built-forms has also been an essential factor. In addition, all the structural elements and the designed forms follow the specifically applicable building codes and standards.
The services at Sainik School have been devised with the objectives of energy efficiency, green building, eco-friendly design, and centralised location of services installation to ensure easy maintenance, state of the art technology, fast track installation and compliance to all statutory regulations. Efficient sanitary and stormwater drainage system, adept energy-saving equipment and a well-networked water supply line with provisions for static storage tanks have been incorporated into the design. Hydro-pneumatic systems with automatic electronic level controllers channelized the water. The induced HVAC system design has been equipped with energy conservation features to reduce the overall energy demand of the building and to minimize operating costs.
Lighting in the outdoor areas like roads, pathways, landscape lights and building façade illumination is devised to be powered through solar energy. The timer-based lighting control adapted here is economical and reduces energy consumption. Features like rain-water harvesting, fire- fighting and smoke extraction systems further suggest a well-thought approach to the serviceability of the design.
There are segregated circulation paths for vehicular and pedestrian access. A conscious approach to opt for renewable energy sources has been taken by offering provisions for solar energy that power LED street lights and water heaters. Smart infrastructures like Wi-Fi enables green parks, toilets, kiosks, billboards, and smart waste management systems have been incorporated into the planning. Facilities for jogging, walking, sports, yoga & meditation have been provided to promote a healthy lifestyle. An added attention to reducing noise & air pollution has been given by adding numerous tree plantations. Cycling zones with smart mobility features further help in reducing pollution levels.
The proposed design intent for the Sainik School also plans to retain the maximum number of trees existing within the site, and the phases of construction have been planned while being mindful of the density of existing greenery. With a smart horticulture plan, the entire site’s landscape is connected with a drip irrigation system. The entire site has been sprinkled with ceremonial gardens to add to the built environment of the School. Features like indigenous and low maintenance plantation, permeable ground covers to retain the water table, bim operated sewage treatment plant, and rainwater harvesting system suggest a sustainable and eco-friendly building approach.
Multifunctional lights powered by solar panels house the digitally equipped CCTV cameras & signages and have attached smart bins at their feet. Many similar urban adjuncts have been sprinkled throughout the site’s public spaces and open parks, directing towards DFI’s holistic design ideology.
Design Forum International has envisioned the architectural vocabulary of the Sainik School, Gorakhpur to be such that it narrates the tales of patriotism history has blessed us with. Through this institute, the firm has attempted to curate a holistic built environment that inspires the students to embark on their journey towards nationalism by joining the Indian Armed forces amidst serene and sustainable built forms nestled in the lap of nature.
