Kedarpur, Dehradun. The first Vice Chancellor of Doon University prepared a
campus site development plan on the proposed land envisaging that Kedarpur
campus of the University would have about 2000 students in a residential
campus mode. The University would have second campus which shall
accommodate programmes requiring significant laboratory facilities including
a science park. The design philosophy for campus and buildings and the layout
of the University at the Kedarpur campus including the proposed intake and
enrolment of students in various academic programmes is very well elaborated
in the chapter no. 6 of the concept paper. This concept paper captures all the
aspects related to the full fledged campus leading to its complete
development/construction.

of Uttarakhand appointed a Consultant Architect and a Construction Agency
which prepared the Master Plan, based on the concept paper and the inputs
from the office of the Chief Minister who was also holding the charge of
Minister for Higher Education and other stakeholders. This master plan was
approved by the Statutory Bodies of the University and the State Government.
