Tata Consultancy Services is a global leader in IT services, consulting and business solutions with a large network of innovation and delivery centers. It's new software development campus in Kolkata encompasses 2.1 million square feet of space, housing more than 16,000 employees. Spread across a 40-acre site, the design of the campus was inspired by the important role courtyards play in traditional Indian architecture, specifically the role they play in fostering community interactions. The entire site, including the buildings themselves, is filled with courtyards, dynamic building scales framing the courtyards, and a diverse sequence of landscaped spaces.
Designed by our Yazdani Studio of CannonDesign, the campus architecture is defined by two 15-story towers. The north side of the towers is clad in high-efficiency clear glazing with distinct ceramic frit patterns and sun-shading devices. The south side integrates metal paneling into the façade and a number of framed terraces and public spaces, including a five-story courtyard in which employees from different floors can come together and interact.
