MATERIAL MUSEUM

The PVPCOA Material Museum is a repository of all the material required for building construction, building services (plumbing, sanitary and electrical) and furniture design. With a view of allowing to see and feel the material by taking it in their own hands, so that they realize its texture, densities, behavior and other properties the laboratory has begun to be installed. This museum shall be located on the ground floor of the college building. 

The Material Museum has been classified under four categories – 

1. Product and System  Display – This is a vendor-based display which is given to market vendors to install their proprietary systems. This will expose the students to various brands and market trends. Also having a visual vocabulary in front of their eye will help them relate the theory to the actual on-site practices.  The various systems like Non-timber windows, partitions, plumbing and electrical systems shall be installed by the vendors with the aid of PVPCOA for the students benefit. 
2. Material Sample Display – This is a faculty member driven display where in basic units of construction are displays through out the college at various alcoves and niches. This is so make the building units more accessible to the faculty members and students. 
3. Material Brochure Library – There are numerous manufacturers, suppliers and brands for any construction and proprietary systems like plumbing, electrical, windows and door systems, paints, timber derivatives, etc. The Material Brochure library will code and catalogue various brochure and make them accessible to the students.
