CEPT University

CEPT University is a private research institution in Ahmedabad with five faculties covering architecture, planning, technology, and design. The campus uses sturdy concrete structures with geometric forms and broad horizontal lines that serve as teaching spaces, studios, and laboratories.

The institution started in 1962 as an architecture school created by the Ahmedabad Education Society and expanded over decades to include planning and technology programs. This growth reflected India's increasing interest in design and urban development after independence.

The university brings together Indian architectural heritage with modern design thinking across its teaching spaces and built environment. Visitors can see this blend in the studios and project areas, where local and global design approaches meet in daily work.

The campus is reachable by public transportation and has open areas with walkways connecting the buildings that visitors can explore. Come during the academic term to see active work in the studios, though some areas may need advance permission to visit.

The university runs specialized research centers focusing on urban fairness, building science, and energy efficiency for sustainable development. These centers carry out practical projects that test and apply solutions across Indian cities.
