As the first AIIMS (All India Institute of Medical Sciences) in this underserved region, it sets a precedent for the future of healthcare infrastructure in similar geographies worldwide.
Spanning 190 acres, the campus addresses Assam’s unique climatic and geological challenges—extreme rainfall and high seismic risk—through innovative design solutions. A system of retention ponds naturally manages stormwater, preventing urban flooding while fostering biodiversity. Meanwhile, advanced seismic-resistant technologies, including base isolators and viscoelastic dampers, enhance structural resilience, ensuring safety in this high-risk zone.
Functionality and adaptability are at the core of the design. The campus is structured around a clear axis that divides it into distinct yet interconnected zones—the hospital and academic buildings in the north, and residential and Ayush (holistic medicine) facilities in the south. This thoughtful spatial organization ensures seamless movement, intuitive navigation, and room for future expansion.
With a 750-bed hospital, modular educational spaces, and self-sustaining infrastructure, AIIMS Guwahati is not just a medical institution—it’s a scalable model for healthcare facilities in fast-growing regions. Let me know if this aligns with any upcoming stories. I’d be happy to share more insights.
AIIMS Guwahati, is a pioneering medical campus in Northeast India that has redefined resilience, sustainability, and patient experience in hospital design.
