Phase III
Technopark has almost completed acquisition of 100 acres (0.4 sq km.) of land for Phase III expansion. Firms like Larsen & Toubro and the Rahejas are planning major developments within and around Technopark as well. L&T has already announced its plans to set up a 35 acre (0.15 sq km.) hybrid IT-and-residential park as part of Technopark Phase III.[4][24] Patni Computer Systems has already announced that it will set up a Rs 150 Crore ($US 32 Million) Development Centre in Phase III.[25]
The IInd and IIIrd phase of expansion of Technopark along with the ramping up of operations of the existing IT units are expected to see an investment of around Rs. 1000 Crore ($US 218 Million) and an additional employment creation of 35,000.
Phase IV expansion
The Phase IV of Technopark is also referred to as the Technocity project. It involves a mixed use—IT, biotechnology, nanotechnology, commercial and residential development spread over 500 acres (2 sq km.) of land, about 5 km (1.6 miles) from the present campus. This land is currently being acquired. It will be a self contained IT township with the potential to employ a hundred thousand professionals.[26][27] The expected investment in the project is around Rs 6,000 Crores (Over US$ 1.5 Billion), as per latest estimates.[28]
Once Technocity's land acquisition is complete, Technopark will have an extent of close to 850 acres (3.5 sq km.), making it one of India's largest IT satellite townships, in geographic area, comparable to that of projects like the Mahindra World City in Chennai.

Upcoming UST Global Campus
Upcoming UST Global CampusUS Technology Builds a Green Campus
The first new, eco-balanced campus will be built in Trivandrum, India and will showcase the extent of the company’s commitment to "green". Care is being taken in the layout of the buildings to utilize natural light while sunscreens reduce the need for air conditioning through efficient sun insulation. The buildings are being placed to benefit from natural wind patterns. Almost all of the parking will be subterranean, allowing for more native grasses, plants and trees in open areas. A half-acre park and jogging path will be created for exercise and relaxation.
Hydrology studies are underway to determine how to best utilize the natural water flow through the campus. Budget has been set for a water purification plant to filter water, capture rain water and reclaim grey water from the campus grounds. All sewerage will be pretreated prior to being expelled from the campus grounds. Studies are being performed to look at efficiencies through insulation and solar power generation
