This led to a pressing need for additional dedicated space. So the brief given to White design, an architectural design practice, was to create a space of architectural merit that would not only accommodate all the students but also demonstrate a sustainable construction with sufficient flexibility in its design for future needs. The design and positioning of the new building that had been carefully considered to meet both government and local policy.

Existing landscape and vegetation are preserved.

Environmental issues have become increasingly complex and inter-disciplinary — requiring solutions, which are based on principles of engineering science, biology and medicine. Although independent solutions from these areas have been developed, an interfacial integration of these three areas can lead to more effective and comprehensive solutions. With this specific objective of integrating these varied subjects to address environmental issues, IIT Kanpur has taken the initiative to create Centre for Environmental Science and Engineering (CESE).
