The Centre
A bronze pavilion 
rising on the Sathyabama campus, built for conferences, 
concerts, convocations and 
celebrations on a city scale.
Established in 1987 by Founder Chancellor Dr. Jeppiaar, Sathyabama is a deemed-to-be university with NAAC A++ accreditation and UGC Category I status.
The Centre extends the campus with a venue sized for the whole institution and the city around it: a circular plaza and fountain at arrival, a perforated terracotta façade that spells the university’s name, and halls engineered for every kind of gathering.
