Custom drafting-studio blueprints, specialized climatology laboratory plans, and turnkey support for Council of Architecture (CoA) approvals.
Unlike standard college campuses, architecture schools require specialized work studios with light-intensity layout controls, model making workshops with specific wood/metal tools, and climatology research spaces.
TESS delivers exhaustive architectural vetting to confirm compliance with CoA Minimum Standards of Architectural Education. We align your space plans for studios, materials museum display panels, computer labs with heavy CAD/BIM hardware support, and digital printing suites.
We work closely with your promoters from blueprint checking to mock inspections to guarantee approval on the first review cycle.
Key infrastructure parameters mandatory for an intake of 40/80 students in B.Arch.
| Facility Segment | CoA Specification | Key Equipment / Design Element | TESS Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Drafting Studios | 1 Studio per batch of 40 (Min. 120 sq.m.) | Ergonomic drafting tables with parallel bars | Light mapping to ensure glare-free natural lighting layouts |
| Climatology Lab | 1 Dedicated lab with climatology equipment | Anemometers, solarimeters, hygrometers | Procurement support matching approved instrument lists |
| Materials Museum | 1 Display museum for construction materials | Brick bonding models, building blocks, hardware displays | Interior space blueprinting for categorization |
| Model Making Workshop | 1 Workshop area with machinery and toolboxes | Wood lathes, thermo-cutter models, hand tools | Design layout ensuring structural safety and dust control |
| Faculty Ratio | 1:10 Teacher-to-Student Ratio | Mandatory registry of principal/professor under CoA | Strategic placement and headhunting of qualified candidates |
A comprehensive step-by-step roadmap from land due diligence to inaugural admission counseling.
Securing state government clearances and establishing affiliation ties with local Technical Universities.
Planning studio setups, material museum display boxes, and sourcing specialized climatology tools.
Submission of structural stability, land certificates, and academic blueprints on the Council portal.
Preparation of display panels, structural mock evaluations, and final presentation to the CoA inspectoral team.
CoA guidelines permit sharing of common campus amenities like playgrounds or cafeterias, but require a dedicated, separate architectural library and computing lab facility. TESS structures campus layout divisions to ensure compliance with this mandate.
According to CoA norms, a standalone architecture college in a metro area requires 1.0 acre of land. For other areas, it requires 2.0 acres. TESS helps evaluate your land title files for verification before commencing the design stage.
Inspectors closely check the climatology lab for functional instruments used in measuring solar path, wind velocity, humidity, and temperature. We assist in cataloging and sourcing these specific devices from verified providers.
Ensure that your institution meets all CoA guidelines. Connect with our principal architecture setup consultant.
