1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. General
In medical colleges, fostering an optimal academic atmosphere is
paramount. Planning initiatives must meticulously consider the myriad
activities students engage in throughout their college tenure, as well as the
design of interactive spaces conducive to learning. These institutions

prioritize extensive research into student study habits and the integration
of cutting-edge technology to complement the curriculum. Architectural
design should be driven by functionality, with spaces tailored to
accommodate the specific events they will host.
As an architect, my primary concern lies in ensuring that the design
facilitates the evolution of the learning environment while maintaining
student engagement. It is essential for form and function to synergize,
providing direct or indirect support for student learning.
Admissions procedures for medical colleges vary by location. For
programs such as MBBS, smaller universities, particularly those in rural
areas, may have limited capacity, typically accommodating 50–75 students
per class. In adherence to specified criteria, this study envisions an intake
of 200 students per batch, with the affiliated teaching hospital boasting a
capacity of 500 beds.
Every Medical Institution with 200 MBBS annual admissions must
contain the following departments:
1. Human Anatomy
2. Human physiology
3. Biochemistry
4. Pathology (including blood bank)
5. Microbiology
6. Pharmacology
7. Forensic medicine, including toxicology
8. Community medicine
