Xplora Design School

Our school is at Fool Bagh Choraha. We are on the 2nd floor of Shivaji Tower. It is a very central spot, so there is always a lot of activity outside. People are constantly coming and going from the tower. Inside Xplora Design School, things are a bit more focused. We have rooms filled with computers where people sit and learn about design. The 2nd floor is a good height because you can see the street but it isn't too noisy. We have some posters on the walls of things people have made, but mostly it is just a workplace. The chairs are a bit worn out from so many people sitting in them every day. We don’t have a big lobby or a receptionist in a suit. Usually, you just walk in and find one of us in a classroom. We spend a lot of time talking about how to make things look right on a page or a screen. It’s a lot of clicking and dragging and trying again. The students come from all over the city to Fool Bagh Choraha. We have been at Shivaji Tower for several years. The lift in the building sometimes acts up, so we end up taking the stairs. It is just a normal place where people come to get better at what they do. We don't make a big deal out of it; we just keep the classes running. The classrooms are often full of the sound of people chatting about their work. Sometimes we stay open late for those who need extra time on the computers.
