ACADEMIC MASTER PLAN
Our academic master plan outlines five goals to guide our teaching, research, and service missions over the next five years. These goals are:
To be the premier institution in Kerala for sustainability-focused architectural education. We aim to achieve this goal by elevating the profile of the college, building and strengthening core areas of focus within the college, and establishing a stronger role for the college in the community around.
To build a vibrant interdisciplinary environment. Our strategies for achieving this goal include enhancing the interdisciplinary culture of undergraduate education, developing collaborative initiatives with other institutions at the graduate level, and creating opportunities for industry partnerships.
To create a culture of research and design excellence that drives innovation in professional practice. We plan to achieve this goal by increasing faculty and student participation in collaborative research, expanding partnerships with research centres, labs and schools across India, and identifying new research areas in which we can develop a competitive advantage.
To cultivate college diversity, equity, and inclusion. We will achieve this goal by ensuring the college has an inclusive, welcoming and supportive climate and culture, by ensuring the college community represents diverse backgrounds, perspectives, interests and talents, and by providing a roadmap to excellence for women and underrepresented minority faculty, students and staff.
