The IT college building is an addition to the K.J. Somaiya Institute of Engineering on their Sion campus in Northern Mumbai.
The site for the new building was flanked on one end by a cement plant, on another by a contaminated rivulet and on the west by the existing eight-storey engineering college building.
The client brief was for the new institute to accommodate programs that included Workshops, Laboratories, Lecture Rooms & Student Community Rooms along with an extension to the existing cafeteria in the adjoining building, to be built in a second phase.
