Built-in 1907, Fort High School (Figure 1) is an unprotected historic building that stands two stories high next to one of Bengaluru’s prized monuments, Tipu Sultan’s Summer Palace on one side and a large open ground on the other. Despite its idyllic location, this courtyard building has withstood the test of time and stands as was intended over 110 years ago. At present it is used as a high school and pre-university college run by the government, catering to over 500 students annually. Its present use makes it a unique conservation project that will involve introducing much-needed modern amenities to the school, accommodating the public grounds that surround the building while retaining the historicity of a heritage building.
