The Playpen campus building

Ten storeys, designed for this school.

House 545/A, Road 19, Block J, Bashundhara Residential Area — a purpose-built campus the school moved into on 19 July 2018.

The building

A campus, not a converted building.

Playpen’s permanent campus was designed for the school by the architect Mr. Ehsan Khan and built under the direction of Chairman Mr. A Mannan Khan. It runs classes from Play Group to Class XII across ten floors.

Classrooms, laboratories, the library, the common room and teacher facilities are all air-conditioned. Every floor has separate restrooms for boys and girls, and mineral water for drinking. Generators keep classes running comfortably through an electricity failure.
