KERE TUMBUVA KARYAKRAMA:

It is established on August 2016 with influence of Shankar Nayak who works for the Archaeological Survey and is in charge of Taj bavadi, states that the City Corporation dredged it about 7-8
years ago.Inaugurated on water conservation day ie on august 2017.
One of the reasons behind selecting Vijayapura for the event is the effort made by the State government in reviving ancient tanks and historic Bawadis (open wells) for water conservation.
While several ancient tanks including Begum Talab, Mamadapur and Bhutanal that had been dry for decades have been filled with water, around 22 historic Bawadis of the city have been
cleaned.
N
These tanks and Bawadis were built during Adil Shahi era for supplying water to the parched city. However, owing to negligence, they are either running dry or being used to dump garbage.
The water in these Bawadis was completely contaminated.

ADMIN BLOCK /EASTERN BLOCK

• The research laboratories function around surroundings and provide ample space for interaction among the scientist.
• The aim of design was to locate various functions in such a manner that it would look complete and humour in all respects yet and
flexibility for further expansion.
• Inter-linked courtyards surrounded by laboratories and classroom .

• The maximum natural diffused light was used.

• The informal spaces(balcony) are provided in front of each
laboratories.
• Balcony is facing towards courtyard.
• All the service lines were hidden in perforated ducts.
• Cetronela was used near courtyard to avoid insects.

SOUTHERN BLOCK

The southern laboratory building is organized such that shared resources/ interactive spaces are located on the northern side. Large deck for outdoor functions, food court, exhibitions and lectures is located under
pilotis on first floor. This provides interaction opportunities so critical for the scientific endeavour. The ground Floor has the 200 Seater Lecture Theatre, Spectrometry facility while the second floor has Lecture
theatres, Library and Faculty Lounge.
• The open laboratories are located on the south side separated by a large
atrium.
• The support facilities and services risers surround the labs on three sides
connected by a service corridor which ensures unhindered and
undisturbed access for maintenance and servicing of labs.
• The colonnade space was used for exhibition and informal learning .
• The libaray was facing toward landscape.
