Project Description

TOWNLAND in association with Ernst & Young (India) and HCP Design and Project Management Pvt. Limited were commissioned to prepare a Feasibility Study to create a unique ‘Knowledge City’: three different University Colleges co-existing within one Campus and sharing all common services and facilities (Cafeterias, Dormitories, Shops, Sports Facilities, Venue Spaces, Conference Halls, etc).

The Master Plan concept focuses on the opportunities to group facilities per function (instead of Institute), and the special Zoning of the Campus, striking a balance between the common denominator and the individual identity of the different Institutes.

Extensive consultation was undertaken with the key Stake Holders / Institutes who will be a part of the Knowledge City, which includes the Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT), the Mahatma Gandhi Labor Institute (MGLI) and the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE). in order to derive the programme requirements for the Campus. Various innovative solutions were proposed in relation to the provision of facilities to be shared by all three Institutes.
