MAKING A GIFT
From the earliest contributions to the more recent acts of philanthropy, Aitchison College has benefited greatly from the generous
support of Old Boys and others who believe inthe advancement of education.
If you would like to support the College's high standards of education or simply give back as.an Old Aitchisonian, there are several
ways for you to support us. Gifts to Aitchison College can be made for any of the following purposes:
The Old Building Fund
Our donation drive for the Old Building has so far raised 20 million
rupees and we thank all those who came to the rescue. The amount has
allowed us to make an immediate start but we have a long way to go.
Donations are still welcome and needed. The anticipated total cost of
the project is estimated to be 50 million rupees.
In order to be renovated and returned to its former glory, the Old
Building has been closed until at least September 2019. It is along time
to be without our iconic building, but the end result will ensure that it
stands strong and tall for another century. It is a masterful, ambitious
and time consuming project.
Old Boy architect Raees Faheem has been overseeing the entire
project and the Board sub-committee has been receiving regular
updates.
Great progress has been made on the larger cleaning and structural
fronts, and now inroads into the finer details of restoration. Re-roofing
is almost done with only the shamiana to complete. In this regard, a
great deal of old mud in the roof lining has been removed from the
Leslie Jones' era where packing mud was a popular summer habit. . A
host of original internal and external ornate work is being retouched
andrestored. Thedomeor cupola and the precious red marble columns
have been restored to their orginial lustre.
One of the key observations made was that the building must be used
to ensure its long term survival. To this end, we have plans to have the
‘Old Building’ operated as a Music School in 2020.
