Iit Gandhinagar Campus Planning

The IIT Gandhinagar campus received a five-star GRIHA LD rating, making it the first campus in India to receive this rating and setting norms for future developments. The 400-acre campus master plan guides development over the coming years with an emphasis on open spaces, infrastructure, mobility without cars, and preserving biodiversity while efficiently using resources to achieve net zero energy, water, and waste. The phased development will house up to 10,000 students across academic buildings, housing, and other facilities in a sustainable, pedestrian-friendly design harmonizing with the local climate and riverfront landscape.

river bank location and by the
use of existing ravines.
• It is planned as a green campus
with pedestrianised movement,
largely free of vehicular traffic.
The layout has been designed

across the river and to retain
two existing natural depressions
as important visual and
SENIC VIEW functional elements.
• The visitors’ entrance to the
campus is located on the river
bank and visitors will get to it

Sustainable Design:
• The campus has been designed to be largely free of cars and
other motorised transport.
• Pedestrians and cyclists have special scenic routes separate
from vehicular roads, through the campus.
• Whilevehicular access has been provided to all housing
blocks, parking at the academic blocks has been restricted
mainly to cycles.
• For internal mobility, the campus provides environment
friendly electrical vehicles for universal access and as a
means of public transport.
• The plan ensures zero discharge of waste water. Onsite
harvesting of rainwater and solar energy.
• Waste water is used for growing food and fodder plants.
