The Delhi University’s Deen Dayal Upadhyay College, which will shifted to its new campus in Dwarka by end of this month, will have all sport facilities, including indoor squash, an archery range, gymnasium and indoor table tennis.
The new campus will have five times more the space than its present location. Shifting from a school building in Karampura after 27 years, the college will begin its July academic session in a multi-storey building in Dwarka.
The old building has been handed to the Ambedkar University for its new campus.
Currently, the multi-faculty co-educational institution has over 2,500 students. “When the college started in 1989, there was no immediate infrastructure available and it had to start from a school building. However, now the new campus has five times the space than the present location with 26 lecture rooms and 12 lecture theatres. We have an auditorium with a seating capacity of 400 and two seminar rooms with seating capacity of over 100 each,” said college principal S.K. Garg.
Mr Garg said, “The new campus will be environmentally equipped with an eco-system mechanism as well as rainwater harvesting system. We are also planning to have a waste treatment plant, but before that we have started working on a solar power generation system that would produce power for college use.”
