Retro-fitting being done in the main building It was designated as a heritage structure by Delhi Government NEW DELHI: Delhi University’s Shri Ram College of Commerce will soon become the first earthquake-resistant building on the campus. The main building of SRCC, including all the 25 classrooms, the Principal’s room and the administration section are now in the process of being made earthquake-resistant by the process of retro-fitting. Retro-fitting is updating the older systems to make them earthquake-resistant. Some years ago the Delhi Government had identified a few colleges on the Delhi University campus as heritage buildings and provided them with a fund for carrying out heritage restoration. So far SRCC has received Rs.50 lakh of the Rs.1crore grant earmarked for restoration. “It is a tedious process to carry out retro-fitting in a heritage building. It has to be done in such a way that the building does not lose its heritage character. As of now, four big rooms have been completed. By November, all the 25 classrooms and the entire building in the foreground will be retro-fitted,” says Amit Bose, the supervising architect of the project. Principal P. C. Jain informed that the classrooms are being upgraded to be at par with the international standards. “The renovation and modernisation work is being done simultaneously and Rs.6 lakh is being spent on every classroom. We have approached our alumni and they have raised the necessary amount. The classrooms will be equipped with air-conditioners, all the latest gadgets of educational aids, LCD projectors, white boards instead of black boards, and brand new furniture,” said Prof. Jain., adding that the faculty members would be given laptops.
