G+13AHS Building – Allied Health Sciences
The Allied Health Sciences (AHS) Building is a G+13 high-rise designed with a distinctive cross-breeze shape that sets it apart on the Saveetha campus. The building form is specifically engineered to channel prevailing winds through the structure, creating natural ventilation corridors that keep interior spaces comfortable with minimal mechanical cooling.
Open-to-sky (OTS) courtyards are integrated at multiple levels throughout the 13 floors. These architectural voids serve as light wells and ventilation shafts, bringing daylight deep into the building core and creating natural stack-effect airflow. The OTS spaces also function as informal gathering areas where students and faculty can relax in outdoor environments without leaving the building. The result is a high-rise that breathes naturally and provides a healthy learning environment for allied health sciences education.
