Planning for IISC iHub facility, (a competition entry from 2018) a melting pot of science and entrepreneurship, provided for an opportunity to create a platform that could influence future technological developments in the institution and the city. The location of the site on the border of the campus signifies the nature of the project as a gateway between the students and researchers of the Indian Institute of Science and the technology companies.
