Additionally, the Jubbal Geography Room was generously presented by Rana Sir Bhagat Chandra, KCSI, Raja Sahib of Jubbal State, Simla Hills in 1941. Now the initiative of naming has been revived by Mr Syed Babar Ali.

Named after him for 20 years, the Shahbaz Khan Classroom was inaugurated in Barry Block on 30th August, 2025. Most recently, Nawaz Khan Laboratory was inaugurated on 17th February, 2026. A gift of our Old Boys, Nadeem Babar ('81), Arif Saeed, Irfan Aziz ('85) and Ali Ahsan ('94), the Physics Lab was named after their teacher, Mr Muhammad Nawaz Khan. Mr Nawaz Khan joined Aitchison College in 1971 and spent 45 years shaping the young minds of Aitchisonians as a mentor and physics teacher until his retirement in 2016. He was Head of the Physics Department for almost four decades, and served as patron and staff advisor for the Physics Section of the ‘Aitchison Scientific’ student publication. He was also the Housemaster of Jinnah House where his valuable advice and encouragement was much appreciated by his students. Throughout his time at Aitchison he supported student publications and extracurricular activities and inspired students to achieve their best both in life and in academics.

This initiative has been supported by our most senior living Old Boy, Mr Syed Babar Ali, who chose to honour his dear friend, Ahmad Khan. Named after him for 20 years, the Ahmad Khan Classroom was inaugurated in Barry Block on 30th August, 2025.
