The Prefects’ Guild of Ananda College proudly launched a special commemorative booklet dedicated to the architectural and historical significance of our school’s buildings. This meaningful initiative reflects the enduring legacy of Ananda College—founded in 1886—and its deep-rooted commitment to academic excellence, Buddhist values, and national service.
The booklet, which was compiled and curated entirely by the Prefects’ Guild, offers an insightful journey through the College’s built environment. Each page explores the story behind the structures that have stood witness to generations of Anandians, preserving the memories, milestones, and spirit of those who walked these hallowed halls.
The project was carried out under the guidance and support of our Principal, Mr. Lal Dissanayake, whose leadership continues to inspire students to honour the past while striving for excellence. His encouragement was instrumental in bringing this publication to life, and his vision for nurturing school pride and historical awareness was a guiding force throughout the process.
From time-honoured landmarks that date back to the school’s early years to modern educational facilities, the booklet reveals how Ananda has evolved to meet contemporary needs without losing touch with its glorious past. Several buildings are named in memory of legendary principals, national heroes, and devoted benefactors—each playing a part in shaping the identity of Ananda College.
