New Delhi: Delhi Technological University (DTU) has initiated plans to upgrade its campus infrastructure through a major civil works project focused on modernisation and repair.
Project Scope
The proposal centres on the provision of tactile tiles and allied civil works across key facilities, including the academic block, boys’ and girls’ hostels, central workshop, and auditorium. The project reflects a broader push towards improving accessibility and overall campus functionality.
The work is likely to include installation of tactile tiles along key pedestrian routes, entrances, and circulation areas across the campus. Alongside this, allied civil works may involve resurfacing of pathways, correction of uneven pavements, and general strengthening of outdoor access infrastructure.
Official Statement
An official familiar with the plan stated that the project is “focused on improving movement across essential campus spaces while addressing long-pending repair needs.” The academic block is expected to see upgrades to its surrounding pathways and access points, which are likely to be restructured for smoother and safer movement. In the residential areas, including the boys’ and girls’ hostels, similar improvements are set to be carried out. “The intention is to create a consistent and accessible network of walkways across all major facilities,” the official added.
Workshop and Auditorium
The central workshop is also likely to undergo modifications, particularly in terms of approach routes and internal access areas. The auditorium block, another key area of activity, is set to receive comparable upgrades, including improved entry pathways and repairs to adjacent civil structures.
Phased Implementation
The work is expected to be carried out in phases, with different parts of the campus likely to be taken up sequentially. This may help in managing the scale of the project while ensuring that upgrades are implemented across all targeted areas. “This initiative is not just about new additions, but also about upgrading existing infrastructure to meet current needs”, the official noted.
