Giving sessions on Environmental Awareness isn’t enough, students must also understand the importance and application of theoretical knowledge in these areas hence they are presented with a brand new workspace to unleash their creativity and intellect. The students from each branch acquire a common workspace to collaborate and promote interdisciplinary activities.

* This leads to a culture where the students from different branches learn to value and appreciate the unique skillset of different branches.
