9.1 Campus Vision
Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management has been established with the objectives to provide quality education and Research to act as a resource in the area of Information Technology & Management. The quality education, therefore, is at centre in all activities of the institute. The Institute academic building therefore must convey the spirit of excellence and radiate the message of a high quality academic Institute. It is envisioned that this be achieved through a central structure in the academic building complex whose design may integrate and project the essence of the Gwalior architecture. Around this landmark, modern academic buildings could be interwoven and annexed.
All the buildings will be SMART. The campus is planned to be fully wired for providing access to modern communication facilities at all the places in the campus. The campus network be designed along with campus planning to enable specific corridors outlined right in the beginning which would avoid later digging of the campus and within the building. The climate in Gwalior is very hostile for most part of the year. This will necessitate architectural designs keeping into account the environmental and climatic aspects. For the equipment, Computers and communication devices, to work efficiently and accurately in the academic and administrative buildings, laboratories, hostel rooms, library and faculty residences will need noise & dust free environment with controlled temperature and humidity. The campus buildings will have many air-conditioning spaces. It is necessary that building design and building materials including coatings used must reduce the heat load to cut on power cost. To sum up, the campus will need air quality control at all the places. The central vista of the campus complex could be designed to use landscaping as a tool to achieve climate control. Annexure V gives the list of campus Visioning and Finalizing Committee.
