Chennai Mathematical Institute Campus Facilities - Hostel Fees, Infrastructure, Address

The new campus was designed by architect K. S. Ranganath with permeability of wind, light and green as a guiding principle. Most spaces are one room deep with openings enabling adequate cross ventilation vital to the humid climate besides offering view of soothing green, a feature, which also results in lower energy use. Another important consideration in design was the need to offer settings for spontaneous interactions which has been found to be as significant to discourse and learning as formal classrooms. Nature lined circulation spaces with open discussion areas with blackboards have been created to inspire such serendipity. The Circle, a universal symbol with extensive meaning used as both the organisational structure and descriptive metaphor for social gathering and learning since the earliest of the human societies besides its ubiquity in nature and geometry, is drawn into the morphology of the campus.The library block and the student's hostel were completed in late 2006 and become operational from January 2007.Auditorium Building.

In 2006, CMI implemented grey water recycling system on its campus. The system was designed for CMI by Sultan Ahmed Ismail to treat waste water produced after cleaning, washing and bathing to be used for gardening or ground water recharge.

Construction is underway for a new building that will house an auditorium, accommodation for guests, as well as additional academic space - faculty offices, library and lecture halls.
