The Centre for Environmental Science & Engineering at the Indian Institute of Tehcnology, Kanpur is conceived with the specific objective of creating an interdisciplinary research facility integrating the fields of engineering, science and medicine to address environmental issues.

The Centre for Environmental Science & Engineering building has been conceptualized, designed and constructed as a "building in the garden" that is sustainable and environment friendly. The facility has obtained a 5 star TERI-GRIHA Green Building certification.

This initiative has been generously funded from the MPLAD scheme pledged by Mr. Arun Shourie, Member of the Rajya Sabha.
