Premal Jyoti is a residence and administrative headquarters designed by Architect Hasmukh C Patel for the Society of Jesus. The building complex with its introvert H shaped hostel building, Chapel, Administrative block, etc  follows a rhythmic pattern with it's simple and repetitive elements. The cloister plan with its form adapted to suit the openness of the training hostel and the design programme which is a response of Jesuit's way of life -  includes both spaces for community living and spaces for solitude. Thus, the building's form has been derived as a response to these functional  and socio - cultural requirements.
