Campus Buildings , Campus Facilities
A map of the Institute in the Convocation Brochure of IIT Madras, 1964 shows the location of the Ladies Club situated to the east of the Open Air Theatre (OAT). As of 2021, the Ladies Club building is located on Delhi Avenue, across the road from Kurinji Apartments. It was renovated over a decade ago (as of 10 January 2022). The Staff Club and Community Centre are also located next to the Ladies Club. The Annual Report of IIT Madras, 1964 reports that the Ladies Club started functioning in the year under report. It is also mentioned that the club was inaugurated by Mrs. Mudaliar, wife of Chairman of the Board of Governors Dr. A. L. Mudaliar. When it started, the club President was Mrs. Shanti Sengupto, wife of Director Prof. B. Sengupto. The Ladies Club initially conducted classes in sewing, music and dance, cookery and fruit and food preservation. The Report also notes that the club organised entertainment programmes on campus.
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.
