Delhi Public School

A School That Learns, Teaches & Inspires

Project Overview

Location: Burdwan, India Stage: Construction | School – Building as Learning Aid (BaLA) Completion Date: 2025

Delhi Public School - Burdwan is designed as a future-ready, sustainable learning environment, where architecture itself becomes an active educational tool. Integrating climate-responsive design, smart infrastructure, and experiential learning spaces, the school fosters an interactive and engaging atmosphere for students.

Sustainable & Climate-Responsive Design

Child-Centric & Ergonomic Approach The school's design prioritizes student well-being through age-appropriate furniture, flexible learning spaces, and interactive seating arrangements. Low-height washbasins, safe play areas, and dynamic classrooms create an environment that supports cognitive and physical development.

Eco-Friendly & Ergonomic Materials Materials play a vital role in shaping the school’s atmosphere. From low-VOC paints and bamboo furniture to breathable flooring, every element ensures sustainability while enhancing safety and comfort.

Optimized Natural Lighting & Ventilation A network of large windows, skylights, and open courtyards allows maximum daylight, reducing artificial energy consumption while improving focus and mental well-being. Cross-ventilation, thermal insulation, and shaded outdoor areas regulate indoor temperatures efficiently.

Central Courtyard & Interactive Learning Spaces A central courtyard serves as a dynamic learning and social interaction zone, reinforcing community engagement. Various BaLA (Building as Learning Aid) elements, such as interactive walls and activity squares, transform everyday spaces into immersive learning experiences.

Smart & Energy-Efficient Infrastructure

Renewable Energy & Resource Efficiency DPS Burdwan integrates solar panels, wind turbines, and intelligent energy management systems to power essential operations. Motion-sensor lighting, smart HVAC systems, and automated power controls further reduce the school’s carbon footprint.

Water Conservation & Waste Management A rainwater harvesting system ensures sustainable water use, while composting units and waste segregation stations actively involve students in responsible waste management.

Technology-Driven Smart Classrooms AI-integrated learning environments, VR-enabled experiential learning spaces, and IoT-based school management systems create a seamless digital infrastructure, enhancing both teaching and administrative efficiency.

Experiential Learning & BaLA Concept

School as an Educational ToolDelhi Public School - Burdwan adopts the Building as Learning Aid (BaLA) framework, where infrastructure itself becomes a medium for education.

This includes:

Leadership Boards & Notice Boards at the entrance for dynamic student engagement.
Activity Squares & Rotating Letters in staircases to reinforce language and math concepts.
Staircase Numbers & Quotes fostering an inspiring and knowledge-driven environment.
Color-Coded Classroom Doors to aid early childhood cognitive development.
Pathway Highlighters & Creative Blackboards encouraging artistic expression.
Height Charts & Keyboard Steps integrating interactive and fun learning tools.

DPS Burdwan is more than just a school—it is a living ecosystem of sustainability, technology, and experiential education. By merging climate-responsive architecture, smart infrastructure, and interactive learning, it sets a new benchmark for future-ready educational spaces in India.
