Ahmedabad University

Ahmedabad University is a private, non-profit research university that offers students a liberal education focused on interdisciplinary learning and research thinking. Their liberal arts education moulds independent thinkers and compassionate leaders who go on to engage innovatively with the complex challenges of their societies.

This 225,000 sq ft (20,900 m2) building was designed by SPA Design.  The rectangular building is situated within 60 m (200 ft) of the academic buildings. It is intended to be the space that students go to whenever they have free time. The interior staircases are patterned on the stepwell design that forms the logo of the University.

The ground floor has a cafeteria, a book store and reading/study spaces. The first floor has indoor sports halls that can be used for conferences and other events also. Above that is an exclusive faculty lounge and club, the student placement and career counselling. The rooftop sports a jogging track and a futsal court.

The university offers a Financial aid programme through merit and need-based scholarships. The need-based scholarships provide a partial waver of tuition fees and even a complete coverage of educational costs (including tuition and study materials, hostel and mess charges). Merit Scholarships are offered as well, in recognition of academic achievements of the students.
