Low lying and angled buildings, blend into the heritage to form a significant feature of the architecture of Centre for Excellence. This landmark in modern architecture with a touch of ancient Middle Eastern influence has been designed by the eminent architect from Mumbai, Hafeez Contractor. The Centre has a sprawling landscape of 5.5 acres. Between the two ends of the complex longitudally, there is a gradient difference of 32 ft. and hence there are different levels of gardens and constructions. The low height construction coupled with lush green lawns, creepers and perennial plants create a feeling of timelessness. Of the two main entrances one has a gigantic pyramid through which one descends into a circular courtyard edged with cobblestones. It opens on to a walkway with exhibition halls on one side and the Office Block on the other. Another entrance leads through a series of huge columns emerging out of two serene Water Bodies in which can be seen the reflection of buildings and the garden. The architect meant the pyramid as a symbol of rest, peace, balance and perfect geometry. The ten huge columns symbolize the brilliance of Grecian philosophy.
