A campus built for discipline and development

The Campus

The College occupies a walled campus in Hangu, set against the hills of the district. Its buildings and grounds exist for one purpose: to hold several courses at once and to train them properly.

The brick architecture of the campus, with its arcaded facades and arched entrances, dates the institution as clearly as its records do. The new main gate was inaugurated in January 2023.

Parade Ground

The parade ground is the centre of the campus. Drill is conducted here daily, and it is where passing-out parades, Pakistan Day parades and ceremonial events are held. Its size allows several contingents to be formed up and inspected at once.

Instruction in law and professional subjects is delivered in the College’s halls, which seat full courses at a time. The largest of them accommodates an entire intake for addresses, examinations and course briefings.

Grounds & Setting

Lawns, planted borders and mature trees run between the buildings and the ground. Beyond the boundary wall the hills of Hangu district rise on every side — terrain that has shaped the character of the training conducted here since 1935.

Ceremonial

The campus is the setting for the ceremonial life of the institution: passing-out parades, Pakistan Day observances, official visits and the presentation of certificates at the conclusion of each course.
