University of Southampton’s landmark Delhi campus completed by BDP

The newly completed campus, situated within the 60-acre International Tech Park in Sector 59, Gurugram, has been sensitively designed by BDP to support the University of Southampton’s triple-helix model of education, research, and enterprise. By repurposing and transforming an existing office building, BDP has created a dynamic, flexible facility that marries cutting-edge learning environments with collaborative spaces, designed for diverse pedagogical styles.

At the heart of the campus are versatile teaching areas: modular lecture theatres, seminar rooms, and open collaborative zones that can effortlessly transition between formal teaching, independent study, and research or enterprise activities. Dedicated innovation space creates meaningful interaction between academia, government, and industry, forming a powerful engine for knowledge exchange. BDP’s designers have drawn on the University of Southampton’s maritime heritage and verdant landscapes while creating a warm sense of place rooted in India’s rich cultural traditions.

Sustainability lies at the core of the design. The campus benefits from its location in a LEED Platinum–pre-certified technology park and incorporates accessibility and environmental sensitivity into every part of the building, from ramped access and lifts to high-efficiency systems for air filtration and conditioning.
