PROPOSED IIHS IOE MAIN CAMPUS, KENGERI
The proposed IIHS IOE main campus is located on a 54-acre freehold site at Kengeri, Bengaluru. The digitally-augmented buildings and facilities slated to be built over three phases, are expected to enable interdisciplinary teaching-learning, research and practice, and demonstrate the best examples of Indian design and traditional crafts.

 

The institutional areas of over 54,500 sq.m, are planned to be differently abled-friendly, aim to accommodate in a phased manner:

 

  • as many as 10 interdisciplinary Schools of the proposed IIHS IOE beginning with 5 interdisciplinary Schools
  • hostels for around 3,000 students and residences for around 600 faculty and staff
  • around 15-20 advanced Labs on key urban systems such as energy, water, transport, buildings, climate change and ICT in addition to IIHS’ existing 5 Labs
  • over 150 teaching-learning spaces such as lecture halls, studios and classrooms
  • one of the largest public reference libraries on urbanisation in the world, with over 2 lakh books and e-books
  • a Building Artisans’ Training and skill development centre
  • an urban innovation incubation centre
  • a convention centre to host 1,500 people, a separate city museum, and multiple performance and exhibition spaces.

 

The campus of the proposed IIHS IOE will aim to provide students and researchers the opportunity to immerse themselves and innovate around India’s core urban challenges.

 

A series of site surveys and ecological studies including hydrogeological and land use pattern studies, and biodiversity and topography surveys, were conducted to form the basis for the design of the proposed IIHS IOE campus. By designing for local ecological functions, the campus of the proposed IIHS IOE aims to provide not only important ecosystem and sociological services to its larger academic community but more importantly to its immediate surrounding locality.

 

The campus aims to ensure the mitigation of land, water and air pollution, provide energy-efficient and environment friendly movement of people and goods; optimise productive and ecologically diverse usage of open spaces; augment the use of both local and reusable or recyclable materials; and safeguard the wellbeing, convenience and efficiency of its inhabitants.

 

IIHS will also seek to ensure that the community of workers that constructs its buildings are fairly paid and well-housed, and that work practices followed comply with prescribed guidelines and regulations.
