Humanities and Sciences Block
Academic Facilities , Campus Buildings , Classes
The Humanities and Sciences Block (HSB) is among the oldest buildings to be built in the Institute. 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, contains a report by the Superintending Engineer Mr. Y. S. Ramaswamy which provides information about the building. Mr. Ramaswamy notes that the work of the building started on 13 September 1961. He added that the construction was expected to be completed by the end of 1964. The Annual Report of IIT Madras, 1964 confirms that the Humanities block was completed and commissioned in the year. Apart from the Humanities and Physics Departments, HSB has the Low Temperature Laboratory and the Glass Blowing Section.
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.
