Space Concept and Design

Last School relocated in July 2014 to its permanent home in the Cultural Zone within Auroville. 

The Last School’s design purpose is to bring the people and the activities close enough to walk and live in a lively environment.

Each and every wall and space can be used for various purposes for display, conducting workshops and other educational purposes.

“No one ought to speak of the Divine unless he has had experience of the Divine.
Get experience of the Divine, then alone will you have the right to speak of it.


The objective study of religions will be part of the historical study of human consciousness. Religions make up part of the history of mankind and it is in this guise that they will be studied at Auroville – not as beliefs to which one ought to or ought not to adhere, but as part of a process in the development of human consciousness which should lead man towards his superior realization.”

Design of Last School

The Last School’s new building was designed by David Nightingale and Ganesh Bala Associate, which was phase 2 of the last school designed by Roger Anger. The school is located in the cultural centre of Auroville. Designing the school with an open plan makes the spaces calm and more connected to the site landscape.
