[edit] History
It was established in 1961 as an autonomous institution by the Government of India in collaboration with the Government of Gujarat and Indian Industry. Dr. Vikram Sarabhai, a noted scientist and industrialist and other Ahmedabad based industrialists such as Kasturbhai Lalbhai played a major role in the creation of the Institute.
[edit] Campus
The campus of IIMA is dominated by the baked brick style favoured by its chief architect, the famous Louis Kahn. All the structures are designed to be part of a whole and looks one integral whole. Other architects who collaborated on the campus include the renowned B. V. Doshi and Anant Raje. As of January 2005, there are 25 dorms in IIMA, each of which can hold 25-44 students in single-person rooms. Each dorm has its own distinctive culture and traditions. Work on a new campus is going on as of 2005. The new campus is just across the road from the old campus and houses 7 of the 25 dorms and some class rooms and seminar halls.
