At present, S.P.A. operates from three locations. Theplanning dept. and the architecture dept. are housed indifferent buildings in different plots. There are 11distinct departments presently and all of them areflourishing units in themselves possessing a wealth ofknowledge and resources. They are supervised and runby the best and most experienced faculty of thecountry. But physical segregation of the institutionmeans that there is very little interaction between thestudents and faculty of the various departments. The

resource of the institute can not be utilized fully. In theplanning building itself, the location of the studios andthe faculty areas is such that one does not get to knowabout other studios on their way. Hence, inter-department interaction is minimal.
