CMI moved into its new campus on five acres of land at the SIPCOT Information Technology Park in Siruseri in October, 2005. The campus is located along the Old Mahabalipuram Road, which is fast developing as the IT corridor to the south of the city. The campus has been designed by the well-known architect K.S.Ranganath.

The library block and the students' hostel were completed in late 2006 and have become operational from January, 2007.

The land for the campus was donated by the Shriram Group Companies. Major financial contributions towards building up the new campus have come from Matrix Laboratories, Hyderabad, the Chennai Willingdon Corporate Foundation, Take Solutions, Chennai, the Infosys Foundation, Bangalore and Tata Consultancy Services.

Construction is currently underway for a new building that is expected to be ready by the end of 2011. This new building will house an auditorium, accommodation for guests, more hostel rooms as well as additional academic space - faculty offices, library and lecture halls. This construction is funded by a grant from the Ministry of Human Resource Development through the University Grants Commission.
