The challenge behind designing Southeast University was to accommodate its vast requirements in a tight urban land in Dhaka, within an area recently converted into commercial and institutional use from industrial. The principle adopted was to grow the campus vertically while creating a central nucleus that stimulates the learning environment of the university by engaging the students. The central void creates inspiring spaces through different dimensions like hierarchy of spaces, visual and spatial connectivity, daylights and most importantly, by creating an identity for the campus community.
