The Visvesvaraya Centre in Bangalore is a government office complex designed by Charles Correa for the Government of Karnataka. It was completed in 1983, though the text says only that the towers were built in the 1980s. The article describes the style as Brutalist, and the material is concrete.
Two towers, 85 m (279 feet) tall, rise from a three-story podium. The page gives 21 floors in one place and 22 stories for the south tower in another. Open-air stairs and multi-level roofs used as a courtyard define the plan, and there is an employee canteen. The VV Towers Plaza was completed in 2023 but is not open to the public.
The complex stands between B. R. Ambedkar Veedhi, Rajbhavan Road and Infantry Road, near Cubbon Park metro station. The public may enter only with an appointment with one of the offices.
