Infrastructure
Informal Learning Spaces - Where learning flows beyond classrooms.
At Brick, education spills into courtyards, under trees, and across bridges. The campus is designed to encourage curiosity, conversation, and creative exchange in every corner. Gyan Kund and Tarangan are among the most loved open spaces; natural amphitheatres that invite spontaneous discussions, outdoor classes, and peer learning sessions. These spaces help dissolve the barrier between faculty and students, creating an atmosphere where ideas breathe freely. Outdoor classes are often held here, turning the campus into a living lab, where context, climate, and culture shape every dialogue.
Counselling Room
For the mind, as much as the mind designs.
Brick believes that emotional well-being is the foundation of creative thinking. The campus houses a dedicated counselling room where students can seek guidance for personal, social, or academic challenges.
Counselling follows a principle of empowerment, helping students identify their own triggers, strengths, and coping mechanisms. It’s a confidential, compassionate space that supports mental health and personal growth.
Common Rooms
Unwind, recharge, reconnect.
Separate common rooms for girls and boys provide space to relax between sessions. Equipped with indoor games like carom, chess, and table tennis, these areas offer a casual environment for students to unwind and build friendships beyond classrooms.
Stationery Shop
Design supplies, right when you need them.
The on-campus stationery shop ensures that students never have to pause their creative flow. From model-making materials to sketch pens and craft tools, everything you need is just a few steps away.
Medical Care
Well-being, on call.
Brick provides first-aid facilities on campus and has an active tie-up with a local hospital for emergencies, ensuring prompt medical attention whenever required.
Universal Design
Inclusive by intention.
Ramps, bridges, and connecting pathways make the campus universally accessible while doubling as lively informal zones. These transitional spaces are where ideas are exchanged, projects are discussed, and everyday campus life unfolds organically and inclusively.
