Cream Coloured bricks

The bricks were made from clay, which is the product of the decomposition of rocks which contain alumionous minerals, such as granite, gneiss, etc. Rain water, acids in the atmosphere, sea waves, and such other agents of denundation cause the decomposition of rocks, carrying and depositing the particles along the banks of the water bodies. 

The colour of the bricks and the clay depends on the iron and chemical content of the soil. The bricks can be produced in various colours by adjusting the contents as well as by altering the baking process. 

The Cream coloured bricks contain iron oxide with added lime, and are burnt at lower temperature than that of white bricks. 

The straw coloured and cream coloured bricks were used to maintain the sandstone identity of the campus.
