WELCOME
Welcome to McGAN'S Ooty School of Architecture and the Blue Mountains of the Western Ghats. The verdant hills, the lush green valleys and the pristine natural beauty of the hill resort of Ooty offers the urban-tired souls a chance to resume their affair with nature, to which they truly belong. Our School is in such a settings and our vision is green architecture for this century.
Aims of our school:
• Not to provide education to get mere degrees but to mould students into future architects.
• We make students learn & practice architecture.
• We are opposed to the idea of having architecture as one among many other courses in a college and the least concentrated by the management.
Our Vision:
• The college will be an international learning community: engaging in exemplary Architectural Teaching, Research, Scholarship, Creative Endeavor and Service.
The Ooty School of Architecture will:
• Educate its students for effective practice in architecture.
• Supplement sound training by nurturing the whole person within an understanding of architecture as a broad humanistic and scientific discipline.
• Produce leaders to meet the demands of profession, and whose technical skills will be complemented by personal vision, ethical persuasiveness and entrepreneurial drive.
The Ooty School of Architecture is committed to the values of:
• Cooperation and Communication
• Creativity and Innovation
• Community Service and Leadership
• Pursuit of Excellence
• Public Accountability
• Diversity
• Design for Sustainability
Reason for choosing Ooty:
Environmentally appropriate designs alone can lead to sustainable development. Ooty offers perfect natural settings for future architects to get sensitized to mother nature and its endowments.
The landscape formed by landform, water bodies, trees and plants and the climate of Ooty shall give unique opportunity to the students to design with nature, and make them globally acceptable. The students trained at McGAN'S Ooty School of Architecture, shall have cutting edge over the architects trained elsewhere in the southern Asian region for their ability to respond to geo-climatic conditions of a place.
