Building
Opened · 27 March 2026
03 — What exists today

Same building.
A greener campus.

Shade trees, an outdoor classroom and paths that lead into the rest of the valley.

04 — The camp

Kosa Camp
& Farm

Next door, the Kosa farm — ponds, orchards and animals — becomes the camp for IT Village's children.

04 — The camp

Learning outdoors

Kids learn IT and new technologies in the IT Village, then put them to work at the camp — alongside national crafts, farming and life outdoors. Small window cabins under the trees are home for the summer.

Hands-on,
outdoors.

Code in the morning, crafts in the afternoon — robots and drones by the pond next to Rishtan-style ceramics, woodcarving and suzani. Old skills and new ones, learned side by side.

05 — The idea

One small gully

A quiet seasonal stream runs through the heart of the site.

05 — The idea

Becomes the spine of the valley

A chain of ponds, stone weirs and green banks — water that ties the whole campus together.

Two centres.
One on each bank.

AI Training Center
R&D Center

Connected by water, light — and a single glass bridge.

A landscape
to think in.

Boardwalks, stepping stones and cascades — the space between buildings is part of the campus.

06 — The new campus

AI Training Center

A centre for artificial-intelligence skills, built with the Fund for Reconstruction and Development and partner investment.

0intensive AI programmes for civil servants
Internationalcertification pathways
  • AI upskilling
  • Public-sector innovation
  • Data & automation
  • Youth talent pipeline

At its heart,
open sky.

A courtyard cut through the building — a tree, still water and room to talk between sessions.

Light through the canopy. Rooms built for focus, teamwork and ideas.

Work outside.
Think clearer.

Coworking terraces along the water, a step away from the classrooms and labs.

06 — The new campus

R&D Center

Laboratories that connect universities with industry — turning real problems of the real sector into working prototypes.

  • Microelectronics
  • Embedded systems
  • Internet of Things
  • FPGA
  • Industrial prototyping

From idea to circuit board to field test — on one campus.

07 — Live, work, recharge

A place people want to stay

Workation homes

Grass-roofed houses in the hillside for startup founders, freelancers, researchers and visiting experts.

Eco-resort & pools

Eco-hotel, indoor and outdoor pools, restaurants and coworking in nature — developed as a public–private partnership.

Sports & equestrian

Riding arena and stables, tennis and multi-sport courts, fitness, and a cycling loop that links the whole valley.

Trails & cycling

A ridge-top loop ties every part of the valley together — on foot, by bike or on horseback.

Agro-Tech & startups

Smart greenhouses and test plots; beekeeping, dairy and local products digitised, branded and sold online — to the world.

Hilltop restaurant

The round building on the hill, completed — a panoramic restaurant and terrace above the whole valley.
