In the first few years, the academic building was located in a Government Vocational Institute building in Satellite town area (Baghdad-ul-Jadeed Road), where the hostels were located in the upper part of the building. In addition, the hostels were also located in an old para-medical school. By the time of passing out of the first batch, the present well designed and spacious building had been completed.
The design of the building incorporates natural climate control features, such as cross-ventilation, strategic placement of windows, and overhangs and courtyards to create shade. Additionally, the roof vaults, besides providing insulation, also allow the flow of air through the vault roof, bringing down ceiling temperatures. Hollow walls also provide insulation. It is very hot in the summer.
