New Campus News: Produced By: Rateshwari Shakthivel

The document summarizes the move of a university to a new campus located near the harbor. Phase one of the new campus is complete, providing a new science and technology park. In September, some faculties will begin using facilities in the new science park. Over the next few years, as more construction phases are finished, the university will continue moving from old buildings to the new campus to minimize disruption. The new campus will benefit from high-speed digital communication and eventually become a fully digital university with digitized learning materials accessible anywhere on site.
