Sharing her thoughts on the new campus, Prof. Nandita Abraham, CEO - Pearl Academy, said, "I am happy to share that our new Rajouri Garden campus will get operational shortly. This campus is truly an interdisciplinary hub. Here, students from different courses stay united on common ground. They have the unique opportunity to learn from cross exposure of the diverse aspects of design industry and by virtue of shared space; ideas, concepts and networks will flourish to find new forms of expression. Our campus is waiting for students and faculty to stamp their own identity onto the building- the walls and corridors are to be enlivened by installations, artworks, videos and other projects that will start bubbling as classes begin. This will not only enhance the learning environment of our students but will also make the facility one-of-its-kind to offer such unique assimilation of creative landscapes. With this new campus, Pearl Academy reaffirms its commitment to its students, the creative industries and society."
Excited to visit and learn at the new campus, Mayank Kumar, an interiors student at Pearl Academy said, "Our new campus is going to be power-packed with creativity. The design of the building has already started stimulating our creative juices and we are so looking forward to the classes at our modern and beautifully-designed campus. Learning here will be so much fun, I am super excited."
"As students walk through the building's carefully-crafted sequence of spaces, they will recognize our aspiration to create an environment that heightens the creative and design process. For instance, we have sliced openings of skylight into our academic wings, so that students receive natural light through the course of their day. The floor plan is designed with ample opportunities for collaboration, open spaces offering peaceful thinking spots and seamless extensions of classrooms. I am delighted at the idea of collaboration spaces at our new campuses which I am sure will boost sharing and exchange of great design ideas," shared an ecstatic, Antonio M. Grioli, Area Head - School of Fashion, Styling and Textiles at Pearl Academy.
