Campus and location
IIM Visakhapatnam is initially functioning out of the campus of Andhra University, while the permanent campus would come up at Gambheeram on the outskirts of city. In the temporary campus the classrooms are designed as per the Harvard Business School model, as the teaching methodology is case study based. "This semicircle gallery model helps better interaction between the teacher and the students", as per Sourav Mukherji, Dean- Programmes (IIM-B). The land acquisition for the permanent campus is almost complete. The foundation stone for the new campus was laid by Union Human Resource Development Minister, Smriti Irani on 17th January 2015. The campus is slated to come up on a 240-acre area.
