Conceived as an autonomous teacher-training campus, the National Institute of Education has an administration office and academic schools covering the disciplines of Science, Physical Education, Arts and Humanities, and Education. A canteen, lecture theatres, a library, an art gallery and a wide range of sports facilities make up the entire complex on a 16-ha site.
Designed in collaboration with US-based architects, the institute is the masterwork of a series of guiding principles. It has a central dominant space, individual buildings, courtyard spaces, low-rise structures, stair orientated buildings and common facilities all located on the campus level. With the faculty offices on the upper most level and the laboratories and classrooms located on the lower more accessible levels, the traffic patterns are well-defined. The architecture is distinctly tropical, with sloping roofs and wide overhangs using extensive sun screens at the facades to cut out the sun and create a rhythm that promotes human scale within the campus.
