Introduction
Many people, when asked about campus or school all they can think of is a box like structure.
Well, they have a point, most of the Ethiopian campus are not that unique in structure and function
Unlike Campus around the world, which are heading into the future, creating for their users a more
dynamic, multilevel environment for learning with refreshed and relaxed mind.

Project objective
The aim of the project is to design a campus which different and better in terms of structure and func-
tionality from the existing campus.
Also to provide, a modern, inspiring, and which brings people together in a common accessible
space.

Scope:
The study will be conducted on campus design. The project will be explored through selected cam-
pus which are found in Ethiopia in order to better understand the state of campuses, starting from the
collected data and resolving the existing problems of the site.
A thorough site analysis is performed in order to understand the site and its surrounding then goes
through series of design processes and finally becomes the final design.

Situation assessment
Site selection criteria
We selected the site in terms of different things
 One is its location from the door of the existing campus.
 Circulation
 Site level
 Access to the site
 Building context[ is it historical]

 Site DESCRIPTION Current context:
 there are no existing buildings in the site
but there is a security house in front of it.
Site location: the site is located in kelinto near kelinto  There is a highway road a few meters
correctional institution and 4 minutes a way from ti- from the site


Circulation: there is al- Vegetation: there are no medium or

Site levels: the site is rela- tall heighted trees in the site. The site is
most no circulation in the
tively less sloppy, which is not
site as it is covered by grass
and not clean.
 There are neither pedes-
trian walk ways nor ve-
hicular traffic in the site

Access to the site: there is a taxi and
Bajaj station beside the site
There is a pedestrian walk way in front of
it and vehicular behind it
Vehicular road
Pedestrian road
The whole site is almost cov-
ered with grass and
shrubs.
Its slope ranges from 2-7 de-
grees,
There is a correctional institu-
tion behind the site
The site is 200 by 150 meters
The site is easily accessed

Accessibility: there is no special access for disabled to the site
Noise, odor and pollution: even if there is a vehicular road beside it
there is no much noise.
There is no odor or pollution at the moment in the site.

ON SITE NATURAL FACTORS pus

A, GROUND SLOPE AND SUBSOIL CONDITIONS: Wind: the wind flows from
foundations of adjacent buildings show no signs of settlement or inadequate bearing eastern part to the south so
in order to minimize the
 there is no evidence of landslides in the vicinity
flow we will use buffer on
 there is no evidence of buried services
the eastern side.

B, VEGETATION:
 providing shade
 funneling breezes where cooling is required
 providing shelter from intrusive winds
 reducing glare by filtering summer sun
having species that let in winter sun during cooler weather.

5
 CLIMATIC CONDITIONS:
The site has a moderate climate that is neither too hot or cold making it
suitable for many different kinds of facilities and institutions if appropri-
ate orientation is made.
Given the moderate climate, it requires little to no active air conditioning.

PREVAILING WINDS:
The prevailing wind accelerates at the night time, there fore this is good for source of electric power and energy conservation

The site is not surrounded by tall buildings so this won’t help the site from

AREA AND SHAPE OF SITE DEFINED BY LE-

GAL BOUNDARIES

 There is a correctional institution
behind the site which is a threat
since it has a history [ it was
burnt in 2016GC]
Topography: the site is not steep
There is a factory around the site
sloping so it is safe for construction
which can causes air pollution
There are no street lights along the
roads which lead to the site

SITE ANALYSIS

AASTU has a positive reputation

in the community and this can
affect the new campus to be built in a good way
There is a new highway road which is faster and has less traffic jam which is
good for transportation
The condominiums provide food, housing and business activities to the site
There is fire fighters Company
around that area [08]

There is a bank near the site , so anyone can travel less for
money transfer

 LOCAL CASE STUDY
Hawassa main campus
Project name: engineering cam-
pus
Location: northern part of haw-
wassa, by the highway to moyale
Construction material: RC, steel
and HCB
Istablished in 2000

the campus has two parts,

 one is the main campus which includes– class rooms, residential for sopho-
more and seniors , café, sport field, admin and survey site . This part was
designed years ago
 The second part consists of residential for juniors and café. This site is recent-
ly constructed and is being constructed at the time
 The campus is home for 3 collages
 Some call it a city with in a city and beautiful buildings

The main campus includes the ict campus, the

students live in the ICT campus while the others
live in the main campus residential houses

Cafeteria:
There are two student cafeteria one is present in the
main campus and the other is located in the ict
There is one staff lounge in the main campus ,
there is a students lounge in the ict campus and
there is a recreational building which consists of

 INTERNATIONAL CASE STUDY

Chandigarh college of architecture

Location:
It is located in India, a city called Chandigarh

Introduction:
Chandigarh college of architecture is de-
signed by le Corbusier in 1962
The college is located near the capital
complex and it is easily accessible
It gives degree in bachelor in architec-
ture

Planning and layout: Site plan

The planning is introvert in nature. The class
rooms and studios have been grouped together
around a rectangular courtyard
There are doubly loaded corridors originating on
two ends of the building which lead from the en-
trance to the studios and class rooms, museum ,
common room, dark room, administration and
facility rooms are on both sides of corridors.
These corridors are poorly connected to the court- Linkage : there hasn’t a thought of linking studios.
yard through four small openings.
And the relation ship between classes is quite poor
The design studios are on the northern side of the
Architecture has failed to link the courtyard in active man-
building. Entrance hall is a long rectangular
ner with the rest of the building, as a result it is a passive
shaped. The courtyard has not been linked to the
and dead space
rest of the buildings.
Corridors and courtyards are connected poorly. Some faculty
rooms are close to studios while some others are very far
away, thus a varying nature of relationship has been created
between students and faculty
There is a little room for inter faculty interaction corridors
which are major circulation arteries to help circulation in a
very uninteresting and boring manner 10

Light and ventilation: the class
rooms are the other spaces are deeper on north
lights for lighting, the lighting is good during
day time.
Courtyard that might have been exploited for nat-
ural lighting has not been used for such purpose.
Ventilation is from small windows which are pre-
sent on the outside walls. The north side windows
are large and close to the ceiling.

 Horizontal zoning
Social space
Zoning of the campus to be
designed is due to noise, the
Academic area
upper part of the site which
mean the side by the main
road is very noisy and the side
opposite to that is very quite
so I decided to put buildings
which have noise with in them
to be by the noisy side and
the buildings which need
silence to be put by the residential
quite side

Zoning section

The site is almost flat so there is no different than flat area when seen in section
view with the zoning. Therefore the site slop almost doesn’t have effect on the
construction or after the construction

17
 SOCIAL SPACE
Social spaces are places where people meet, talk and hangout to have a relaxed
mind. Social spaces can be with in a physical space or outside a physical space.
They can be classified as private
Semi public and

 PHYSICAL SPACE
Physical space is the physical structures that people live in or spend their time in.
for example class rooms, auditorium etc.
Physical spaces can be recreational spaces too like stadium, lounge etc
