Celebrating the Completion of Work at Osmania University College for Women in Hyderabad, India

WMF first included Osmania University College for Women on the World Monuments Watch in 2002 in response to the collapse of one of the building’s signature spaces, the Durbar Hall, caused by water damage to the timber support structures. It was listed again on the 2004 Watch due to the extensive conservation needs. In the following years, WMF first developed a Conservation Management Plan that focused on enhancing structural stability, mitigating water damage, and improving maintenance plans, which ultimately led to the start of the restoration phase in 2015.
