Oli school, or the former “Last school” building, considered to be one of the heritage buildings of Auroville was designed by architect Roger Anger in the 70’s.The new management of the school wanted an outdoor annexe as a lunch hub. The idea was for students to participate in lunch preparation & washing,

A low cost building was needed that resembled the post-modernist design of Last School. A simple concept was proposed keeping various factors in mind. The structure is made from MS steel columns with a metal sheet roof providing overall stability. The red oxide flooring and Kalimarudu wooden interiors blend in perfectly with the surroundings increasing the aesthetic appeal.
