It all started in two and three pucca rooms and in thatched rooms. In 1897, the school shifted to the present campus having 11 compartments and 1 hall attached to a courtyard. Before 1985, the building was called the main building. In 1985, the building was named after an eminent student of this institute Prof. Benoy Kumar Sarkar as Binoy Sarkar Bhavan.
