The 400 acre campus is well planned. The campus is developed in and around the academic buildings with infrastructure facilities like hostels, staff-quarters and play grounds. The water & electricity departments along with other supporting departments always make sure that the campus is active without interruptions. The departmental offices, classrooms, laboratories and library have a built-up area of over 6,20,000 sq.ft. The student hostels and amenities are spread over completed buildings of area around 7,00,000 sq.ft. Staff quarters have built-up area 1,80,000 sq.ft. A swimming pool meeting Olympic standards is commissioned. Two powerhouses are installed with total generator capacity of 1750 KVA, ensuring uninterrupted power supply in the campus round the clock.

Higher education at Amrita entered a new dimension with the ISRO satellite network connecting the four campuses in three states. This high bandwidth satellite network has made Amrita University a fully interactive, multimedia capable, multidisciplinary virtual university. Now, students at any of the Amrita campuses can ‘attend’, and interact in lectures taking place in the other campuses.

Separate hostel facilities are provided for girls and boys. Students are provided with adequate facilities to make them feel at home. Their stay in the hostel enables them to imbibe a different lifestyle and involve in activities including yoga, meditation, sports, music, etc., catering to individual tastes and preferences in addition to regular studies. There are seven hostels spread around the main buildings of the institute which presently accommodate around 2500 inmates. Postgraduate students and final year undergraduate students are allotted single rooms. Pure vegetarian food prepared under hygienic conditions is served in the student dining halls and the canteens from a central canteen.

Computing facility
The twelve computer centres of ASE are designed, laid out and equipped so scientifically that students can spend hours together at the terminal on one : one basis without fatigue. This includes the state-of-the-art CAD/CAM center, high end VLSI Design Center and an exclusive Digital Signal Processing lab. The exclusive CAD/CAM center has more than 70 workstations, CNC Milling machine and CNC turning machine along with an Industrial Robot. The software include I-DEAS, ProE, CATIA, Unigraphics, ANSYS, ADAMS, MoldFlow, Autodesk Inventor Series, SolidEdge, Hyperworks, LS-DYNA, CADian etc. The VLSI center has more than 80 High end Computers with Softwares such as Magma, ModelSim, LeonardoSpectrum, XILINX ISE etc.

There is a Centralised Digital Library - VIDYA accessible across the Amrita Campuses.

Virtual Campus and E-learning Center of Excellence
Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham has the unique distinction of being the nation’s first of its kind – fully interactive, multidisciplinary, multi-media, virtual campus without geographical limitations linking all its campuses. The satellite network for education and research that links all the campuses of the university has been enabled through a unique Public-Private-Academia Partnership linking the core competences of Amrita University, ISRO and Cognizant Technology Solutions. Cadence Design Systems, one of the largest Electronic Design and Automation (EDA) companies in the world is a leading technology partner in this venture. The satellite network has facilitated leading experts from around the world like Dr. Madhavan Nair, ISRO Chairman; Mr. Kris Gopalakrishnan, Co-Founder of Infosys Technologies; Dr. Bharat Jayaraman, Chair of Computer Science, State University or New York, Buffalo, USA; Tata Consultancy Services CEO, Mr. S. Ramadorai; Mr. A. Bhaskarnarayana, Indian National Satellite System, ISRO, Bangalore; Mr. J. Murali, JMD of the Hindu; Mr. Swapan Dasgupta, noted columnist and TV personality and Intel India Chief, Mr. Ketan Sampath to have academic interaction Live from a single Center to students, academicians and researchers at other campuses. It has enabled an integration and synergy at Amrita campuses – between Engineering, Management, Journalism and IT at Coimbatore, Amritapuri & Bangalore campuses and Medicine, Pharma, Nursing and Dentistry at Kochi campus.

Sports Facilities
Coimbatore Campus has facilities for outdoor and indoor games like Shuttle badminton, Ball badminton, Cricket, Football, Table tennis, Weight lifting, Basketball, Volleyball, and Tennikoit. One state-of-the art synthetic tennis court and a cement tennis court are also available. A multi-gym consisting of eight stations and bodybuilding equipment is also provided for practice. A swimming pool of international standards of the size 50 x 25 is fully functional. Each hostel has a separate sports room. Students are given opportunities to participate in various tournaments. An Annual Sports and athletic meet is held every year.
