Infosys Technologies is setting up a futuristic 1.5 million sq.ft, 8-10,000-seat campus in Trivandrum. The 50 acre campus is located within Phase II of Technopark.

The project broke ground on May 19, 2007.

Infosys plans a modern campus

Chief Minister V.S. Achuthanandan performed the ground-breaking ceremony of the maiden full-fledged campus of the Indian information-technology major Infosys Technologies Ltd. in the State in the expanded area of the Technopark in the capital city on May 19.

The company has been running a development centre since 2004 in a leased space in the Tejaswini building of the park and 1,200 people are working there. The new campus will be located on 20 hectares of land adjacent to the park. It will form part of the second phase of the Technopark expansion plans.

The company officials have announced that they propose to invest about Rs. 306 crore for constructing the campus, which when completed will have 8,000 seats. The work will be implemented in phases in about five years, according to the present plans.

They propose to construct a state-of-the art-campus with a lot of eco-friendly features.In Infosys, we were able to add several innovative features to each new campus based on the experiences we had during the construction and working of the previous campuses, says K. Dinesh, co-founder and member the director board of the company.

Nearly 60 per cent of the proposed built-up area of 15 lakh square feet will be dedicated to greenery. Maximum attention is being devoted to ensure that the constructions will not disturb the natural ambience, including the water reserves, of the campus.

The layout of the proposed world-class campus shows five software development blocks, two food courts, one hostel block, multi-level parking facility, recreational and indoor sports facilities and a helipad. The company officials say they are finalising the exact space allocation plans for each wing and will soon start the works. The recreational facilities will be housed in the lower floors of the food-court blocks. The recreation portion will also have a yoga centre, a gymnasium and aerobic exercise centres and related facilities. Vehicles will not be allowed inside the campus and they will have to be parked in the area meant for that to avoid disturbing the serene atmosphere of the campus.

Another important feature of the campus will be that it will have two big ponds for rainwater harvesting. It will have a sewage-treatment and a solid- waste treatment facility.
The first Software Development Block will be commissioned in May, according to Kris.
Referring to company’s future plans in the State, he said that the first phase of the Infosys campus coming up in Technopark, Thiruvananthapuram at an investment of Rs 100 crore would be completed by May this year. It will have a capacity to accommodate 4,000 people.
