With new education policy (NEP) 2020 in implementation phase, learning spaces are now being transformed across India. Playing an essential role in bringing international design and wider perspective to learning spaces, Indore leads the change in the country after excelling overseas.
Indore, the hub of start-ups and young entrepreneurs, is the first to create this new model of education for Government of Karnataka. This model in form of new campus of Dr BR Ambedkar School of Economics (BASE) University, Bengaluru will be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on December 6, 2021.
It was designed by Education Design International (EDI), BASE with sourcing from Indore’s start-up Civom.
The university is the only school of economics in the world with a dedicated campus of 43 acres.
Bipin Bhadran, Managing Director, EDI said "The design of BASE University Bangalore is a step towards creating student cantered collaborative learning environments. Unlike hundreds of thousands of campuses focusing on lecture & teaching, we hope the true intent brought about in the planning of academic & co-curricular spaces will encourage students to visualise the campus as an anytime-anywhere learning campus."
Co-founder of Indore’s start-up Yogendra Patidar said, “We envision working on learning spaces where everything is dynamic from basic furniture like chairs to designs.” The company worked on providing mechanically adaptable and modifying designs to the campus.

Bioswale, minimal carbon footprint & study with nature
The new campus is designed as a perfect example of buildings that blend with nature. The environment and sustainability concepts are at the core of the campus.
The design takes advantage of a natural creek that runs through the site, converting it into a bioswale to promote biodiversity.
Efforts have gone into using local materials so that the buildings have low embodied energy and minimal carbon footprint.
“For example, we have used terracotta tiles, local granite & natural stone to name a few as local materials that nature-friendly,” Bhadran said.
He added that the building design meets international standards and responds to the context, climate, and culture.
The design inherits the roots of Indian tradition by creating an atmosphere where education is imparted both within the four walls of classroom and outside in the lap of nature

How did they come up with the design?
The program for the institution was evolved after careful study of renowned schools of economics of the likes of London, Harvard, Stockholm, and Singapore.
“We strengthened the plan for this school by making it truly international, infusing decades of relevant experience into sustainability, visualising the future of learning, and how to ‘think global yet act local’,” Bhadran said.
