Institute of Business Administration, University of Dhaka - The Campus

The Campus

IBA has its own premises within the campus of the University of Dhaka. The four storied main building contains 65,000 square feet (6,000 m2) of floor space. In addition to classrooms the premises houses a library, the administrative and faculty offices, conference room, lecture and seminar rooms, computer lab, machine room, a teacher's lounge, 2 cafeterias for students and an auditorium.

IBA has an informal reading room popularly known as "Bunker" to IBA students. It is named so because the only access to it is down the library stairs. It is one of the prominent gathering place for the students at IBA. IBA cafeteria (At the ground floor of IBA building) is unique in its nature as it has no tables or chairs to sit on. This unfortunately is due to the lack of funds. People mimicking Buddist monks, either stand beside the wall-mounted shelves or seat on the cafeteria floor to have their food. IBA Canteen, as it is popularly known, is quite famous in the DU campus for its 'quality food items' (an example of the Indian dialect of English that is prevalent). The canteen is also a gathering place for students from all departments who wish to discover the art of sitting and eating on the floor. The EMBA floor has a separate cafeteria. This fortunately has tables and chairs.

To cater to the unique needs of the business and society, the Institute has created some special centers, viz., Center for Management Research and Publications(CMRP), IBA Computer Center (IBACC), Development and Policy Research Center(DPRC), Center for Women’s Studies (CWS), Center for Entrepreneurship and Small Business Development (CESBD), IBA Case Development Center (ICDC), Center for Population Management and Research (CPMR), and IBA Environment Development Center (IEDC). Each Center is headed by a Chairperson chosen from among the IBA faculty members.
