IDST Taksasila Medical College, Modinagar
The site for ITMC is located on the National Highway 58 at 2.5 km from Modinagar towards Meerut, which is a prime location along the highway. The streetscape is very incoherent and there is no significant architectural control therefore there is a potential of creating a landmark building, which fulfils the aspirations of the promoters.
The complex has been zoned into three major areas namely the Public, Semi-public and the Private Areas comprising of 923 bedded Teaching Hospital and Auditorium forms the major public component along with the Pre-Clinical Block and Dental Super Speciality Block .
The Residential areas have been zone towards the rear of the site. The Clinical Block, Hospital and the Preclinical Block are linked through a pedestrian medical spine while the vehicular movement has been restricted at the periphery, thereby creating a super block in the centre. The academic core has been zoned away from the highway to reduce air and noise pollution while the Hospital will be directly accessible to public. A system of peripheral roads as a loop road has been provided with cul-de-sacs and parking lots.
The movement in the site has been segregated into vehicular and pedestrian areas which do not conflict with each other. The Pedestrian spine falls along the major visual axis being generated through the fine enclosures in the site. The Parking has been provided as part of the street system terminating at cul-de-sacs. The entry and the movement system has been structured to provide specific entry to OPD,IPD , Emergency and Residential areas. The complex has been designed to complement the built form through landscape which has been used as structuring elements integrated with pedestrian pathways and designed green spaces which contribute towards the open space system. The pathways have been punctuated by small transition markers which define the movement lines while the trees have been provided to create avenues and screen the buildings for privacy. The parking has been covered and shaded with trees to beat the scorching Sun and provide colour to the complex . The entire campus has been designed as an sustainable campus with well articulated strategies for waste management, Water and Septage Management and energy efficient technologies. There has been an attempt to concentrate services and to achieve economy in design of services.
