Studio
Sri Manakula Vinayagar School of Architecture has sufficient studios with drawing boards and stools/chairs. These studios also have a number of pinup boards so that the students can display their works then and there during the studio hours.
Lecture Halls
State-of-the-art lecture halls equipped with modern technology to facilitate interactive learning, collaborative discussions, and immersive lectures for students.
Survey Lab
This is very important, as without this service, railroads or skyscrapers could not have been erected and individuals could not have put fences around their yards to prevent intruding.
Material Museum
Variety of building materials and new materials that are introduced in the market are displayed in the material museum.
Cad Lab
Our state-of-the-art CAD Lab is equipped with 40 high-performance systems and laser jet printers, providing students with the latest tools for architectural design and visualization.
Software
- AutoCAD – Precision drafting and 2D/3D design.
- Photoshop – Advanced image editing and rendering.
- 3ds Max – High-quality 3D modeling and animation.
- Revit – Building Information Modeling (BIM) for architecture.
- SketchUp – Intuitive 3D modeling software for design visualization.
- Lumion – Real-time architectural rendering for lifelike presentations.
- V-Ray – Photorealistic rendering for architectural visualization.
Climatology Lab
Climate plays a crucial role in architectural design, influencing building orientation, materials, and energy efficiency.
- Lab Equipment:
- Anemometer
- Solarimeter.
- Barometer
- Rain Gauge
- Hygrometer
- Thermometer (Digital & Infrared)
- Sun Path Diagram Tools
Carpentry Workshop
The carpentry workshop provides ample production space, access to power tools and extensive array of hand tools. The model making is done at the carpentry workshop.
Plumbing and Sanitation
Plumbing and Sanitation Lab is typically a specialized space where students can gain hands-on experience and practical knowledge related to plumbing, drainage systems, water supply, sanitation, and overall building systems.
Library
Our architecture library is a vast resource center, housing a comprehensive collection of books, journals, research papers, and digital materials.
IDEA Lab – 3D Printing & Innovation Space
The Idea Lab is a cutting-edge innovation hub, fostering experimentation, creativity, and prototyping. Equipped with advanced 3D printing technology, it allows students to translate their ideas into physical models, enhancing their understanding of form, materiality, and structural design.
