Shiv Nadar School / Stephane Paumier Architects

The Shiv Nadar School Faridabad (SNSF) is the third school of the group to open after Gurgaon and Noida. The SNSF is the largest campus among the three, built on 13 acres with 2 football fields, a 400 m running track, and a cricket field. It is located behind a public green belt 30 to 50 m deep. As a linear plot of 600m long, separated by a middle road, the South side is dedicated to pre-primary pavilions of small scale around a courtyard extending to the primary, middle, and senior school building as an L shape linear building with porous qualities on the north side. The orientation of the building is like the Hauz Khas complex that faces the dominant winds of North and West from October to June for optimal cross ventilation from the green belt and fields
