Traditions and Progress

Building Design and Construction

Situated alongside an historic temple, the Training and Resource Centre includes completed buildings such as a library/resource centre, classroom/training rooms and residential facilities. Conference and training halls with modern equipment and facilities are the next priorities to be developed, for which funding is now being sought.

Though the buildings are new, they utilized traditional Bhutanese rammed-earth construction techniques. The country adheres to strict building requirements, for example requiring artistic decorations on the eaves.
