Hostel residents at IIT Bombay’s campus have expressed concerns over the noise and dust caused by ongoing construction. The administration argues that these projects intend to improve opportunities for upcoming generations, urging current residents to collectively endure the inconvenience for the institution’s advancement. Insight, a student-run magazine, has provided detailed coverage of this matter.
Currently, IIT-B has undertaken Project Evergreen to enhance the student’s accommodation and hotel facilities. Project Evergreen will replace some of IIT-Bombay’s over 50-year-old hostel infrastructure. While corporates can contribute, the first-of-its-kind mainly alumni-led hostel complex will replace hostel Nos. 7 and 8. Meanwhile Hostel 11 also one of the accommodations is undergoing repair after it was found structurally weak.
