Ganesha Campus

Ganesha campus (ITB campus), which was built in 1920, is located near the Cikapundung river banks and surrounded by the green rice fields of Lebak Siliwangi and the beautiful scenery of Tangkubanparahu. This beautiful natural composition inspired Henri Maclaine Pont, the first master planner of this campus, to determine an imaginary axis as a basic binding element of mass and space. This basic concept is continually maintained through generations in developing the campus master plan.

Preliminary Master Plans of Ganesha Campus

The establishment of ITB campus was initiated by a European/Dutch philanthropic group. The General Governor of the Dutch East Indies, Mr. J.P. Graaf van Limburg Stirum, officially opened its campus on July 3, 1920.
