The campus of IIMA is dominated by the baked brick style favoured by its chief architect, the famous Louis Kahn from Philadelphia. All the structures are designed to be part of a whole and create a red-brick mini-cityscape that attracts many architecture students. Other architects who collaborated on the campus include the renowned B. V. Doshi and Anant Raje. The central brick and grass courtyard in the academic complex at IIMA is named Louis Kahn Plaza, in honour of the chief architect.

The original red-brick IIMA campus and the new concrete-look campus have 25 dorms, each of which can hold 25-44 students in single-person rooms. Each dorm has its own distinctive culture and traditions. A new campus, connected to the old campus via a pedestrian tunnel (which also serves as a photo gallery), opened in 2006. The new campus is just across the road from the old campus and houses 7 of the 25 dorms and some classrooms and seminar halls. The new campus also is the home of the new PGP-X Executive MBA Program. The executive program is the new one year degree offered by the institute and is for people with substantial industry experience. The placements have been extremely successful in the first year itself.

Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad

"IIM-A was established in 1961 as an autonomous institution by the Government of India in collaboration with the Government of Gujarat and the Indian Industry. In its formative years, it collaborated with the Harvard Business School. Largely as a consequence of this collaboration, IIM-A pioneered the case method of teaching in India. And since then, it has remained the last word in management education in the country."

"Designed by Louis Kahn, a well known American architect, the 60-acre campus of the Institute has it all: a blend of austerity and majesty; spaces for casual interaction; frequently changing perspectives; and a balance between modernity and tradition that captures the spirit of contemporary India. It stimulates the imagination and creativity of the students, who are clearly the best in the country, coming as they do after one of the most rigorous selection process."

"Kahn's architecture is notable for its simple, platonic forms and compositions. Kahn design of buildings, characterized by powerful, massive forms, made him one of the most discussed architects to emerge after World War II. Through the use of brick and poured-in place concrete masonry, he developed a contemporary and monumental architecture that maintained sympathy for the site. While rooted in the International Style, Kahn's architecture was a blend of his Beaux Arts education and a personal aesthetic impulse to develop his own architectural forms"
