The Bangalore IT Campus spans forty eight acres and is designated as a Special Economic Zone. It was planned in three phases with the capacity to accommodate approximately sixty thousand seats. The first phase included a built-up area of 4.34 million square feet designed to house over twenty five thousand seats. This phase also featured a state-of-the-art data centre, basement parking across three levels, and a range of connected amenities. The development aimed to create a modern, sustainable, and efficient campus that meets global standards and provides a world-class working environment. The design incorporated advanced infrastructure and focused on energy efficiency, water conservation, and environmental sustainability. The project is now complete and fully operational.

TCE's Scope

TCE served as the Project Management Consultant and was responsible for ensuring safety, quality, and timely delivery throughout the project. The scope included civil works such as reinforced concrete structures and architectural finishes, mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems, heating, ventilation and air conditioning installations, and electrical works. Interior finishes and modular furniture were part of the scope along with infrastructure development such as roads, utility trenches, landscaping, and hardscape works. TCE also supported achieving LEED Platinum certification, obtaining statutory approvals, and managing the complete handover process. The role required close coordination with multiple stakeholders to maintain compliance with safety norms and environmental standards while delivering a high-quality campus.

Impact

TCE introduced several innovative measures and design improvements that added significant value to the project. Safety was enhanced by introducing stainless steel wire rope hanging systems to prevent hazards from facade terracotta tiles during the design phase. Structural efficiency was improved by reducing the weight of precast sill wall and mullion elements through hollowness created with lightweight beads. Controlled low strength material was used in place of plum concrete for filling areas, which improved performance and reduced material usage. Design reviews led to optimising hardscape flooring thickness, resulting in better resource utilisation. Water conservation was addressed by integrating rainwater recharge pits along the drainage system and creating a buffer pond for harvesting. TCE also recommended relocating the sports arena to avoid high cost implications and improve overall planning. The project achieved more than thirty nine million safe working hours and received multiple awards and recognition for its safety, quality, and timely execution, reflecting TCE’s commitment to excellence and innovation.
