IIM Bodh Gaya’s 119-acre permanent campus, delivered by CP Kukreja Architects with the Central Public Works Department (CPWD), draws its design language from Buddhist philosophy. Traditional Torana gateways welcome visitors, and a central Bodhi tree motif, visible from across the campus, anchors the institute’s identity around wisdom, tranquility, and enlightenment.
