TRAINING AND RESOURCE CENTER, BRAC, RANGPUR

Project Details

Project Location: Rangpur Project Year: 1985-1986 Site area: 1.67 acres Bangladesh Rural Advancement committee (BRAC) decided to establish a training and resource centre as part of its human development and vocational training. The program included an institute block, trainee’s dormitory, ancillary and multipurpose facilities, staff accommodation and poultry shed. Covered corridors around the enclosed and semi enclosed courtyards are connected, different functional blocks for smooth functioning, during monsoon. The courtyards for socio-cultural considerations segregate male-female trainee’s blocks. Brick as building materials were extensively used to lower the expenses. Traditional louvered doors and windows ensure privacy and effectively respond to the climate of tropical Bangladesh. The orientation of the building group captured the prevailing breeze from southeast. The campus has been arranged around a water tank, which acts as a landmark.
