INTRODUCTION
One learns through various institutions since the start of age but the role of an educational institute in making one capable enough to make use of his/her talents fruitfully for the development of a nation remains above all.
The role of built environment in providing an institute, its character is immense; the profession of architecture that concerns itself with the development of man made environment has the added responsibility of creating such temples of learning that provides an atmosphere conducive enough to cater the aims of that institution.
Educational institute are just a fragment of the vast field where an architect’s services are required to create an educational institution that has to impart knowledge of broadly defined profession of architecture.
Numerous architecture schools are existing through the length and breadth of the country but viewing the growth of our town and cities and degradation of our environment; the ever increasing problem of our rural habitat and due to many others factors, a vast number of professionally qualified and specialized trained persons are in increased demand nowadays in our country.

NEED OF STUDY
o At present, S.P.A. operates from three locations. The planning dept. and the architecture dept. are housed in different buildings in different plots. o There are 11 distinct departments presently and
all of them are flourishing units in themselves possessing a wealth of knowledge and resources. They are supervised and run by the best and most experienced faculty of the country. But physical segregation of the institution means that there is very little interaction between the students and faculty of the various departments. The resource of the institute can not be utilized fully.
o In the planning building itself, the location of the studios and the faculty areas is such that one does not get to know about other studios on their way.
