The experience of living in this hostel for girls becomes part of the legacy that the students will take with them at graduation and the design of the space directly affects this experience. In the view of hostel architecture, good design is a solution for all practical problems, where spatial organization and circulation are governed by logistical, economic, ergonomic, operational, and aesthetic considerations. Honest design with a clear underlying logic is that which is robust and elegantly constructible. The spaces have been designed to draw students out of their rooms and to foster interactions. There are not that many common rooms in each hostel building but rather each building opens onto common spaces that facilitate interaction. The hostel design does not encourage students to sit by themselves. Unlike some other hostels where students may spend time only knowing people in their own hostel, the design was developed to force students to get to know each other. There is a common mess, with two dining halls, for all the students and no individual mess in each hostel building. The mess is located at one end of the hostel blocks so that students must walk through the central pathway to get their meals. Some of these design principles came from lessons learned from experiences at the older, established.
