The entire campus is constructed of brick masonry for walls. Reinforced concrete
is used for the internal frame structure. Lintels are standardized and are left with
exposed concrete surfaces. The areas around the opening are clad in rough Kota
stone and slate bluish-green to purple hues. The remaining part of exterior
masonry wall surfaces is plastered with stone-washed grit. Coarse stone-masonry
retaining walls are used for creating terraces and steps on various levels in the
courts.
