Allahabad University
The Allahabad University, formerly known as the Muir College was built in 1887. The University was designed by Architect William Emerson which is a blend of Indo-Saracenic and Gothic style of architecture. The restoration work was initiated by the Allahabad University under the direction of RITES and Stambh Consultants to retain the legacy and to pass it on to the next generation. The work restoration focused on the mighty Viziayanagaram Hall, the iconic Dome and the lofty Tower which are the prime face of the University. A high-tech drone survey and a 3d laser survey was carried out to understand the building in depth damages. The architecture of Allahabad University includes other spaces such as elaborate corridors and intricate carvings. The extensive task of restoration and repair was taken up and the Allahabad University was restored to its former glory of Muir College.
