The first phase of a major new educational campus for Wellington College International in Pune, India, has been completed by MICA. The state-of-the-art facility is designed to accommodate 800 students, ranging from nursery to sixth form, across five interconnected buildings.

The new campus draws inspiration from the original Wellington College in Berkshire, featuring brick and stone arches, cloistered spaces, and courtyard landscapes.

Situated on a narrow site along the Mula Mutha River in north-east Pune, the campus is organised around a central square and an arched gateway, which provides access to gardens, playing fields, and educational spaces overlooking the river.

The campus is composed of five main elements, arranged side by side. These include the kindergarten and nursery, early years and junior school; the auditorium and dining block; the central square and arched administration building; the multi-purpose hall and swimming pool; and the senior school. The arrangement also allowed for phased construction.
