Ayers/Saint/Gross has been selected as the Lead Campus Master Planner
and Architect for Vedanta University, envisioned to be a world-class,
multi-discipline university in India. This project will entail the design
and development of a state-of-the art education and research institute
that will rank among the highest caliber schools internationally - at
the level of Harvard, Stanford and Oxford.
This new University will be built around several colleges and ‘Centers
of Excellence’ for cross-disciplinary research. The colleges will
include Graduate, Post-Graduate, and Doctoral programs in various disciplines.
It is aimed to have a globally diversified, high-quality student body,
comprising an equal mix of Indian and international students – serving
over 100,000 students in the long-term. The campus will house state-of-the-art
facilities including a global resource library, research and development
parks, student and faculty residences, and an Olympic caliber sports complex.
The vision also includes the development of a University township that
will evolve with the University and drive local development in the region
as an education and research satellite city. |
