In October 2016 IIM Udaipur re-located to its permanent campus on a 300-acre site situated in Balicha about 8 km from the old city. The outer peripheral boundary wall length surrounding the campus is approx. 9.8 KM where the inner periphery road is about 3.5 KM.
The overall design reflects the traditional fortress architecture that is a significant part of Rajasthan's history and culture. The Academic Block is at the heart of the campus with lakes on two sides and many courtyards (inspired by Udaipur's chowks) on different levels to take advantage of the multitude of views. An imposing plaza next to the water provides a central meeting place as well as a backdrop for large events.
The architecture has been designed to minimize energy consumption and we have taken various green initiative to align with the institute’s core values that promotes biodiversity and environmental sustainability. A 500 KW solar power plant has been installed to reduce the dependency over the conventional sources of energy and to reduce the carbon foot print. The arid landscape is being rehabilitated in a number of stages over several years at which point the campus is designed to be largely self-sufficient in terms of water, energy and waste management. The masterplan of entire campus has been designed for a GRIHA (Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment) LD 5 Star rating.
The magnificent site is characterized by sharp slopes and deep valleys. As a result, the key design principle is based on water retention and conservation. To make the campus independent in its water supply requires a sophisticated scheme for rainwater harvesting during the monsoon. A system of check dams is put in place at strategic locations within the terrain to create several interlinked lakes.
In addition to conserving power and water, the campus has constructed a zero-waste facility, where waste has been an important resource utilizing DEWATS (Decentralized Wastewater Treatment Systems), vermicomposting and biogas production.
The campus will have a significant impact on the surrounding community which will reap benefits in terms of production of flora, more stable year-round grass supply and generation of a large number of jobs in maintenance and other services.
The infrastructure, facilities and classroom design create a campus that takes its place with the best in India and abroad. The IIM Udaipur is fully residential Institute, offering housing capabilities for more than 900 students, 60 faculties and 30 support staff members., implementing its mission to provide leadership in research and teaching, create responsible leaders and contribute to the development of the region.The housing, open spaces around them, children's park and other recreational facilities adds to the rich quality of non-work life at Campus.
