A landmark public institution in the heart of Arambagh, the Prafulla Chandra Sen Government Medical College and Hospital represents a transformative leap in West Bengal’s healthcare and medical education infrastructure. Spanning multiple blocks and facilities, the campus is a holistic response to regional needs, combining world-class education, accessible care, and inclusive residential design.
As part of a significant state initiative to enhance healthcare accessibility and medical training, the brief called for:
A full-fledged medical college campus with state-of-the-art educational, clinical, and residential facilities
A cohesive master plan integrating academic, service, and accommodation blocks
A modern, functional design language that reflects institutional strength and accessibility
Efficient zoning for OPD, IPD, Super Speciality, Hostels, and Staff Housing
Durable architecture built to serve future generations
The challenge lay in accommodating a vast range of user needs - from patients to doctors to students - within a single master plan. With 9+ block types spread across a multi-acre site, the goal was to balance architectural coherence with the functional specificity each unit demanded.
Utopiaan’s master planning strategy ensured seamless movement between zones while maintaining distinct identities for each function. Key highlights include:
A G+6 Academic Block equipped for modern medical pedagogy
Separate Boys’ and Girls’ Hostels (G+9) designed for student comfort and security
A G+9 OPD Block and existing G+3 IPD and G+6 Super Specialty Blocks offering tiered levels of medical services
Dedicated residential towers for Teaching Staff, Non-Teaching Staff, and Nurses (G+9) ensuring proximity and convenience for personnel
Unified by a contemporary blue and white facade, the architecture balances visual identity with climate responsiveness and institutional dignity
The project, now complete, stands as a fully functional, future-forward healthcare and learning ecosystem, supporting the government's mission to create accessible, quality healthcare in underserved regions.
