SACON is located at Anaikatty 24 kms northwest of Coimbatore on the way to Silent Valley. In its 55 acres of land with rolling hills, narrow streams and degraded and scrub forests, it has built up around 37,000 sq. ft of buildings for housing the office, laboratory, library, common facilities and hostel for a few students.
