ESTABLISHING A BENCHMARK FOR INSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE COUNTRY
Institutions of national importance have a long history of development, shaped by social-political ideologies of the day. Accretive growth spanning decades render them rich with potentials and challenges for future growth. New-age requirements and increased densities need to balance issues of identity and sustainability. The Indian Institute of Technology at Kanpur poses the additional challenge of responding to the understated and classical architecture of Mr. Achyut Kanvinde. The strategy plan addresses the relationship of the campus with the once-distant city of Kanpur as well as concerns for the larger region in terms of climate change and depleting resources. 
Low-rise structures under verdant canopies
A modernist classic.
Open corridors as structuring elements.
Approach to the academic spaces
Context and existing landuse of the campus
Green infrastructure as a structuring element.
Proposed Strategic Master Plan for 2035
Integration of mobility and green infrastructure
The strategy plan evolved key anchors to guide the growth of the campus in the coming decades, taking cognizance of physical infrastructure as well as quality of life within the campus. An iterative and participatory process ensured integration of varied needs and perspectives and the final proposal was developed over a series of highly interactive sessions with multiple stakeholders including the faculty, staff, residents, campus managers, amongst others. This included concerns of surrounding communities to ensure an equitable and sustainable plan. 
The final outcome addresses multiple scales of operations and decision-making including land use, densities, built form, climate responsiveness, safety, disaster management, visual quality and phasing. All the strategies are intricately tied in to respond to larger themes of decentralization, land capacity and long-term sustainability structured to create an active and vibrant campus life for the institute. 
The development will be undertaken by IIT Kanpur and the team included M/s. Shift, Sterling and EDS.
