Set in a small town, Pragati Vidyalaya is a CBSE school for classes 1-10 for the students of Challakere, Karnataka. The 2.1- acre campus design facilitates a seamless connection between the classrooms and several open and semi-open spaces. With outdoor spaces like a football field, basketball court, and learning space for primary students, the school promotes learning beyond the four walls of the building. A combination of jaali and paneling creates a double skin on the south facade to cater to the south sun.

The entrance of the building welcomes you to a double-height lobby with a feature staircase.

The learning staircase focuses on a variety of the principles of 21st-century education — collaboration, flexibility, creativity, and wellness. It is a central public space shaping countless opportunities for students and faculty to gather and thrive.

The two central atriums welcome ample sunlight and facilitate ventilation inside the building, making a comfortable environment for the students to learn and develop. The south facade is designed with a combination of jaali and paneling to create a double skin that would protect the building from the harsh south sun rays.
