BANGALORE: The nearly century-old famed Indian Institute of Science here intends to build a new campus, twice its size, to meet much of its future expansion needs. IISC director P Balaram said the institute of higher learning is in discussion with the government and has requested it to allot land somewhere close by that can be utilised for the expansion activities. “I would like to think that if one is going to take a very long term view, one would actually look for a campus of at least twice the size of this one,” Mr Balaram said.
“The reason is that there are many things which have to be done in Bangalore like greater industry connection with research labs...All this needs space somewhere in the neighbourhood.” The current land-holding of the IISC, which is ranked highly in the international academic field, is 443 acres. It’s celebrating its centenary year in 2009.
