Hare School - Campus

Campus

The combined campus of the Hare School and Presidency College is one of the largest in Kolkata. The ownership of the campus has been contested, with disagreements arising in relation to whether students have access to the College's field and gates. The ownership issue was escalated after a widely-publicised incident of "eve teasing" (public sexual harassment towards women enacted by men) inside the college campus, though restrictions were normalised eventually.

The white building of the school is of Victorian architecture, and has rooms with high ceilings, tall doors, and no windows. A third floor was constructed on top of the original two-story building. The new floor maintains the same architectural style. Another adjacent, smaller building, has also been constructed, but in a modern architectural style. The school has two playgrounds, but the larger one of these was given to the Presidency College, although it continues to be used casually by the students of Hare School.
