The Academies feature campuses with exceptional
facilities. Each campus is to be designed by renowned
architects and will include a variety of best practices
in facility design, including construction techniques
that allow creative use for interior spaces and classroom
environments more conducive to interactive learning.
The Academies will have well-equipped laboratories for general science,
physics, biology, chemistry, home science and computers, art and music
rooms, a library and resource centre, a religion and culture room, a career
counselling facility, a design and technology workshop, student and teacher
lounges, a theatre, a multipurpose hall and a cafeteria and dining area.
In addition, facilities for sports will include swimming pools, fields
for athletics such as soccer, hockey and athletics. A gymnasium will typically
house facilities for a variety of sports such as basketball, badminton,
volleyball, squash and gymnastics. Other facilities might include tennis
courts, a cricket pitch or an ice-skating rink, where appropriate. These
facilities are intended to allow students to progress physically as well
as intellectually and, in the process, build self-confidence, self-esteem
and self-reliance.
Residential Facilities
Residential facilities will accommodate students and teachers, both those
boarding students requiring accommodation and those participating in the
international student and faculty exchanges between Aga Khan Academies
and other schools. Teachers’ quarters on campus will house both resident
and visiting faculty. |
