Greetings to the NICMAR University Family,
It is a pleasure to reach out to you through this communication. As the Interim Dean of
Infrastructure and Planning, I am proud to share some exciting developments happening
across our campus.
NICMAR University, Pune has always stood for excellence in education, especially in
construction, real estate, infrastructure, and project management. We continue to focus
on innovation, sustainability, and creating the best possible learning environment for
our students and faculty.
Over the past year, we have taken major steps to improve our campus. From upgrading our
buildings to adopting the latest technologies, we are working hard to create a space
that supports both learning and sustainability. These efforts are helping us set new
standards in educational infrastructure.
Our academic blocks now offer modern spaces for research, collaboration, and innovation.
We’ve also made great progress in making our campus eco-friendly. Our new buildings are
being designed with energy-efficient systems, water-saving technologies, and sustainable
materials.
We are especially proud to announce that part of our campus has received IGBC Platinum
Certification—a top honour for green buildings in India. This shows our strong
commitment to building a sustainable and responsible campus.
Alongside this, our digital transformation efforts are shaping the future of our
academic environment. Smart classrooms, better communication networks, and strong data
systems have made the campus more connected and efficient.
Looking ahead, we will keep improving and innovating. We want to build a culture where
everyone—students, faculty, staff, and alumni—feels inspired to share ideas and be part
of NICMAR University’s growth.
Thank you all for your continued support and dedication. Together, we are building a
campus that promotes learning, growth, and well-being.
