Site Data: Unveiling the Foundation
Area & Zoning Land Use
The Infosys Mysore campus occupies a significant area, subject to The campus primarily serves as a technology park, with
specific zoning regulations that govern land use, building heights, designated zones for office buildings, training centers, residential
and permissible activities. Understanding these regulations is facilities, and recreational areas. Analysis of land use patterns

organization.

By identifying the site area, understanding zoning stipulations, and analyzing land use, we can better plan development.
Objectives & Process: Planning
with Purpose
1 Objectives
The primary objectives were to create a world-class technology campus
that fosters innovation, attracts talent, and minimizes environmental
impact. Sustainability was a core consideration throughout the planning
process.

2 Planning Process
The site planning process involved a multidisciplinary team of
architects, engineers, environmental consultants, and landscape
designers. They followed a phased approach, including site analysis,
concept development, design refinement, and implementation.

The site planning process was also designed to foster innovation and create a
space where talent could thrive, resulting in a collaborative environment that
benefits all stakeholders.

One key learning from the Infosys Mysore project is the importance of proactive traffic management strategies. Alternative design
solutions could include improved public transportation infrastructure and incentives for employees to use sustainable modes of
transport. Furthermore, by engaging with the community, the campus could more fully embrace the principles of sustainable site
planning.
Key Takeaways & Next Steps
Infosys Mysore serves as a valuable case study in sustainable site planning. Key takeaways include the importance of integrating
environmental considerations into all stages of development, prioritizing pedestrian movement and landscaping, and implementing
robust waste management and pollution control measures.

Next steps for future projects include conducting more comprehensive environmental impact assessments, exploring innovative green
technologies, and actively engaging with local communities to address their concerns. By embracing these principles, we can create more
sustainable and livable urban environments.
