Professors’ Quarters

Campus Buildings , Campus Facilities , Faculty

There is a mention of the Professors’ quarters in Mr. Y. S. Ramaswamy’s article 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. Mr. Ramaswamy writes that the residential quarters were being built as close to the Guindy-Adyar Road as possible to provide residents easy access to the main road and transport services. The plan was to carry out the construction of 20 Professors’ quarters as a part of the first phase of construction. The Annual Report of IIT Madras, 1962 confirms the completion of the 20 Professors’ quarters.

The specific location of this building on campus is not known.

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.
