Ayurveda college to serve as model for restoration of heritage hospital buildings in Mysuru
The Hindu
Engineers are working on the estimates keeping in view the heritage value of the buildings housing K R Hospital and Cheluvamba Hospital, which are attached to the MMCRI
The renovation of heritage buildings housing the K R Hospital and Cheluvamba Hospital, attached to Mysore Medical College and Research Institute (MMCRI), is likely to be modelled on the restoration of the Government Ayurveda College building, which is one of the heritage structures in Mysuru.
Under the supervision of people familiar with restoration of heritage buildings, the ayurveda college building is being restored to its original glory. The repair work has been planned without altering the original design of the building.
MMCRI officials led by Dean and Director Dr H N Dinesh inspected the restoration work being executed at the ayurveda college building on Sayyaji Rao Road. They are learnt to have told engineers attached to the medical education and the health department to model the MMCRI restoration work on that of the ayurveda college building.
Dr Dinesh told The Hindu that the detailed project report is being prepared keeping in mind heritage norms. All work will be taken up in consultation with heritage experts, and the original architecture will be kept intact. “All care will be taken. The (restoration) model of ayurveda college building has been suggested to our engineers who will take a call and proceed,” he added.
He said the workers have been sourced from Jharkhand and materials — lime and mortar — have been sourced from the northern States to ensure the necessary quality of work.
“The estimates are being prepared by our engineers keeping all factors in mind since heritage buildings are being restored. The government has already announced ₹89 crore for the renovation,” the dean said.
