Academic Facilities , Campus Buildings , Departments
In Mr. Y. S. Ramaswamy’s (Superintending Engineer) article ‘The Campus’ in the Souvenir Volume to commemorate the visit of His Excellency Dr. Heinrich Luebke to IIT Madras on 3 December 1962 to lay the foundation stone, there is a report of the various buildings that were being built during the time. Mr. Ramaswamy notes that the building work for the Electrical Science Block (ESB) began on 27 February 1961. It is also mentioned in his article that a part of the ground floor of the building was used for classes from July 1962. The Superintending Engineer notes that the entire building was completed in December 1963.
Album 0049 does not have a photograph of the Student Activities Centre (SAC) which was completed in 1983, but it does have a photograph of Quark, which was completed around 1980. Thus the date of the album is probably 1981 or 1982.
