Centre for Advanced Studies The centre for advanced studies was established in 2013 to carry out specialized studies in the fields of genetic research, metallurgy, immunology, and robotics. The institution has developed algorithms that are now used in the university's data labs, computer-integrated security systems and student management logs.
Aeronautical Hangars Sathyabama has three large aeronautical hangars that are a part of the institution's programmes in aviation research. Constructed in 2008, these hangars are used to construct model aircraft, wind turbines, wind-flow panels, and other components of aeronautical engineering. The Sathyabama-ISRO space satellite which was launched in 2016 was also manufactured here.
Central Library The university has a central library, named after its founder Dr. Jeppiaar. The library was constructed in 2001, and currently has more than 313,000 books. It has subscription services to major publishers such as the AICTE, ASME, ASCE, ACM Digital Library, and IEEE engineering journals. Apart from this, the library also has monthly subscriptions to more than 130 journals and 100 magazines. The library is also connected to the staff internet service-link of the university.
Sathyabama TBI (Technology Business Incubator) In 2015, the Technology Business Incubator (TBI) was established with the help of National Science & Technology Entrepreneurship Development Board (NSTEDB), a government agency. The purpose of the center is to create innovations and developments in the entrepreneurship and business fields, and assist students in launching their own startups. The center also carries out research in the employment sector, by analysing current market trends and future potentials.
Centre for Non-Destructive Testing and Evaluation In 2019, the Centre for Non-Destructive Testing and Evaluation was established at the research park in the university. It provides students with workshops, seminars and laboratory training in the fields of testing and evaluation of engineering sectors. The programmes are supervised by the
AICTE, a government body. The center is equipped to carry out experiments and trials in ultrasonic testing, thermography, radiography, and other similar areas.
DST-FIST Cloud Computing The Cloud Computing Center was launched to design, develop and integrate computer technology in the university's main server lines. It contains portals and computer laboratories that help deploy and maintain Cloud infrastructure.
Makerspace Lab The Makerspace Lab is one of the newest research facilities at the university, and was established to help assist students in the engineering department to gain skills in the developments related to manufacturing industries. The center uses equipment such as the "Fablab" which has F370, 5 Makerbot+ and 3 Makerbot Z18 technology.
Centre for Drug Discovery and Development The Centre for Drug Discovery and Development (CDDD), which consists of teams specializing in bioactivity, biological chemistry, genomics, and bioprospecting, was established in 2013 to carry out research into the development of New Chemical Entities (NCE) that can be used to eliminate diseases such as HIV and tuberculosis.
Centre for Laboratory Animal Technology and Research The center is accredited by the Committee for the Purpose of Control and Supervision of Experimentation on Animals (CPCSEA) and is GLP-compliant, and was launched to carry out experimental research on common animals such as rodents and study their behavior and response to external factors. It has advanced facilities that allow for animal research within the guidelines of the CPCSEA.
Centre for Molecular and Nanomedical Sciences The Centre for Molecular and Nanomedical Sciences (CMNS) was established as a result of the Nanomedicine and Drug Discovery Lab in 2012, and then expanded into the Molecular and Nanomedicine Research Unit in 2014. It carries out investigations into matters related to biology, organic biology, stem cell studies, cancer and regeneration biology, and other fields. The center collaborates with government research organizations as well.
Centre for Ocean Research The Centre for Ocean Research (COR) was established in the year 2007 as a collaboration between the National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT) and the university. It specializes in ocean studies and marine technology, and is assisted by the Marine Biotechnological Studies by the Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES), a government agency. It also organizes projects with the government departments to carry out research into
earth sciences.
Centre for Climate Change Studies The Centre for Climate Change Studies (CCS) was founded in the year 2011 with the aim of researching the environmental impact of weather and climate changes, and the conservation of sensitive eco-zones such as forest, coral reefs and biospheres. It works together with the Sathyabama Marine Research Station (SMRS) and submits it research findings to the International Research Centre (IRC) at the university.
Centre for Remote Sensing and Geoinformatics The Centre for Remote Sensing and Geoinformatics (CRSG) was founded in 2004 and is supported by
ISRO. The purpose of the undertaking is to use Indian satellites to research fields like agriculture, urban studies, and aerial photogrammetry. It also organizes training seminars for students at ISRO laboratories.
Centre of Excellence for Energy Research The Centre of Excellence for Energy Research (CEER) is funded by the
Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), a government body that specializes in education and skill development. It was launched in 2014 and the facility carries out research in solar panels, photovoltaic cells and supercapacitors.
Centre for Earth and Atmospheric Sciences The Centre for Earth and Atmospheric Sciences (CEAS) was established in 2010 with the assistance of Indira Gandhi Atomic Research (IGCAR) and India Meteorological Department (IMD). It features meteorological laboratories and observation towers, and carries out studies in the fields of
atmospheric sciences. It researches both manmade and natural disasters, and is equipped to carry out studies in the remote sensing and
GIS fields. ==Controversies==
