Saraswathi Hostel

Campus Buildings , Campus Facilities , Hostels

The Annual Report of IIT Madras, 1964 confirms that the hostel was started in the month of July in 1964. The first Warden of Saraswathi Hostel was Prof. D. Venkateswarlu. Saraswathi Hostel was among the first six hostels to be completed on campus. Among these were Krishna, Cauvery, Narmada, Tapti and Godavari.

The hostel is a quadrangle shaped building located near the Taramani Gate. The skating track is situated near the hostel.

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.
