The kanthari campus is designed in a cost effective and eco-friendly way and offers an inspiring working environment.
The cost of the Laurie Baker inspired construction methods are app 66% of that of concrete based ‘modern’ construction methods.
So building in a attractive style, is actually more economoically. In 2013 the campus was awarded as the second greenest campus in India by Hudco.
Since, more eco-friendly features have been added. Some of the Eco-friendly features are:
– Anti-ant water channel (To keep crawling insects such as ants and termites out of the buildings)

– Eco-San Toilets – The “liquids” are separated from the “solids”. Solids go into the bio-gas system and liquids are being used as fertilizer for trees.
– Off Grid Solar Power Plant
– Grid Tied Solar Power plant
– Natural Air conditioning system
– Pedal Operated Water Pump
– grey water treatment system
– Rain water harvesting

Beautiful campus, calm vibrant and the people there oh my God, so good, I like the atmosphere they create for students to attend various courses to enrich their potential. We don’t feel like we are away from home. The architecture is fantastic, the costford team has done an amazing job in visual aesthetics and of course if the visual aesthetics are top notch who wouldn’t love to use that spaces, even the seatings are beautiful.its so energetic to even observe the spaces they have created. Everyone should check out the anti ant water channel it’s an amazing and easy idea which can be implemented in every house. The zoning is so cool that you would never feel the scorching sun because of the construction using locally available materials , Filler slab roofing and as an important aspect comes the vellayani lake which always provides cool breeze to the structure. Eco San toilets, Filler slab roofing, Anti ant water channel, Floating solar system, Pedal operated watering system, and much more, nothing more to say, feels like in heaven, like a heritage spot so cool.
