JNCASR Main Campus@Jakkur Since its initial footprint
in Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru in the year 1989, the
Centre got its campus at Jakkur, Bengaluru which was gifted by the
Government of Karnataka. The Jakkur campus was inaugurated by Shri. K.R.
Narayanan, then Vice President of India on March 04, 1995. The main
campus was initially built on 15.55 acre plot, which now spreads across
27.35 acres. The campus initially started with laboratories for Surface
Science, Solid State Chemistry, and instruments like Transmission
Electron Microscope, Scanning Tunneling Microscope, an X-ray
diffractometer and Mini Super Computer laboratory on its inauguration.
It now houses almost complete infrastructure of the Centre including the
research units, in addition to separate buildings for administration,
academic, outreach, dining hall, health centre, daycare etc. Residences
for students and staff members are also part of this campus, including
limited spaces for parking. This campus offers a peaceful environment
for researchers to devote their time to experimental/theoretical work in
a serene atmosphere.
