4.3 Site appraisal This is a regular shaped site with minimum undulations in site levels. The site shape is also regular and is in the middle of an industrial area. 4.4 Master Planning Concept The main academic and the business end part of the campus are designed in a circular plan/ pattern. This is done so that there is an organic development to the site. All these parts are made such that all the parts or rather the different building blocks although for all practical purpose are separate but feel like a part of a homogenous system of buildings that work together. For the above mentioned objectives to be fulfilled along with the maximum efficiency in the forte of working the circular plan-form seems to be the best way of going about it. The residential part of the whole development has been given a separate area and is designed in such a way that it forms a reverse flow in the opening up of places from that area. There is a separate entry for the residential areas and the first part of the whole campus which is accessible from the residential areas is the Academic Block and the classroom which as then followed by the administrative section and in the end by the restaurant. 4-14

4.5 Master Plan Flow The planning of the place has been designed in the manner where there are two entry points to the institute: ENTRY 1: This entry is for the people coming to the restaurant as well as the day scholar students and the faculty and staff members who are residing outside the campus. A parking facility has been provided for the same. Above: Entrance I; The raw material drop-off location can also be seen both for Restaurant and the Academic Section This entry would also take care of the raw materials for food coming in for the restaurant and the institute. For this a separate drop-off location is specified both for the dry and wet raw materials for food preparation. ENTRY 2: This entry leads to the hostels and the living quarters of the working staff. This entry would be mainly used by the students and the faculties/ administrative staff who reside inside the institute campus. 4-15

Above: Entrance II; Leading to residential area and vacant area This entrance would also lead to the land left for development works such as an electrical substation as a part of rules regulations of gram panchayat as a part of this development. There are internal streets surrounded by landscaped gardens which would lead these residential places to the main institute building. Restaurant The restaurant is accessible through ENTRY 1. This will be a multi-cuisine restaurant with a bakery as well. This is where the students would be able to have a live experience of running a restaurant by working over here in various capabilities and profiles. The storage place (both wet and dry storage) is directly accessible to both the kitchen and the bakery area. Above: Basic Layout of the restaurant and the kitchen sections 4-16

There is a provision for the raw material directly being dropped off to the storage area. The restaurant will have designated bakery/ coffee shop are and a fine dining set-up. Directors Room and Administrative Section The director s room and the administrative section have been kept deliberately close to the restaurant and are also in close proximity to the academic section and hence as a result can have direct control and monitoring over both these areas which are the ley parts to the Institute. Above: Director s room and Administrative Section; The floors above would be for academic purpose The building block where the director s room and the administrative section are present would be a G+1 structure similar to all the other building components in the academic section of the campus. The first floor will have the practical training labs for culinary training. 4-17

Academic Section The academic section of the campus will be a G structure. This will continue to be on the circular building form pattern as the rest of the main campus containing the restaurant and supporting facilities as well as the building bloc containing the Director s cabin and the administrative section. This will be a Ground Floor Structure which will have direct access to the administrative section as well as the kitchen storage section of the restaurant. However the main dining area of the restaurant and the bakery is isolated from this area by a green zone. The main features and the facilities available in the academic section are: Theoretical Classrooms Food Labs Beverage Labs Practical Training Centre (Cooking) Practical Training Centre (Bakery) Practical Training Centre (Beverages) Above: Academic Section These facilities are spread over two floors with staircase for access. Along with this there would be a lift facility available along with the staircase block for the differently abled. The salient features of the academic section from planning perspective are that there is a direct view of the green zone from each of the parts of the academic and the administrative section. 4-18

Residential Area The residential area is primarily divided into two parts: Part I: This area has further two parts one is the directors residence and the other part is the staff residences. Part II: This comprises of the hostel facilities for the residential students. Separate hostels would be there for boys and girls. Along with the residential developments there would also be supporting parking facilities as well as sports and recreational facilities. These residential developments can be as high as G+4 depending upon the specific designs for the same. Above: Entrance II and the residential Area There is an area adjacent to the residential area that has been kept deliberately vacant as the area that has to be given to the gram panchayat as a mandatory rule for allocation of land in the development taking place. 4-19
