DU VC inaugurates 8-storey building in North campus

Delhi University Vice-Chancellor Professor Yogesh Singh inaugurated an eight-storey building called “Pragyan Bhawan” in the North Campus to address the issue of space constraints, university officials said.
The 17-room building is situated in a 4600 square meters area and will have nine classrooms and eight tutorial rooms, the university said in the statement.
Vice Chancellor Yogesh Singh, while inaugurating the construction work of “Pragyan Bhawan” on Monday, said, “It is necessary to have infrastructural facilities along with qualified teachers for education.”
“There seems to be a lack of building facilities in some places. With the construction of this new building, while the seating arrangements for studies will be expanded, modern-level infrastructural facilities will be available to the students,” he said.
The maximum height of this building will be 36.8 meters. The total estimated time for construction of “Pragyan Bhawan” has been kept at 24 months.
“Keeping in mind every facility, there will be two lifts in this building. Provision for a VRV centralised air conditioning system, UPS system, solar panel system, and gas-based fire suppression system will also be made,” the university officials said.
