NLUO is housed in its own campus near Naraj, at the western extreme of Cuttack. The area is noted for its scenic beauty. The mighty river Mahanadi and its distributary Kathajodi bifurcate at this point. The Naraj Reservoir is located just a ten-minute walk away, and the locality boasts several other picturesque locations. The campus is spread over 50 acres. Once completed, it will house about 900 students along with faculty members and other staff. It is designed to be eco-friendly, incorporating features such as rainwater harvesting measures. The academic block, the hostels, and the Administrative Block are already functional. The academic block is fully air-conditioned. The campus has football and cricket grounds, a thousand-seater auditorium/amphitheater, a food court, a gym, and other sports facilities. A dedicated library building will be ready very soon. The lecture halls are airy, spacious, well-lit, and comfortable. They feature state-of-the-art audio-visual equipment, including LCD projectors, dedicated sound systems, and electronic blackboards (which automatically generate printouts of what has been written on them).
Campus Facilities:
Research and innovation
Research and innovation are the bedrock of any progressive institution. NLUO has adopted this principle since its establishment. In pursuit of this commitment, we have invested in the establishment of research centers to develop legal scholarship in the selected branches of law.
Beyond Academics
We promote leadership skills and the wholesome life experience of our students by encouraging them to take part in various literary, debating, cultural, entrepreneurial, and recreational activities.
The University has also introduced an Informal Discussion Group (IDG) to promote discussions and debate among students on one hand and between students & visiting dignitaries on general social and political issues on the other hand.
Library
NLUO has a library comparable to the best elsewhere. Its resources are constantly updated to keep pace with the recent developments in all the fields of law, humanities, and science which involve legal issues of any kind. In the present era of information technology library management too is not left out from harnessing the benefits of it. At NLUO, both the academic as well as residential blocks have been provided with round-the-clock connectivity through leased line connection using state-of-art Wi-Fi technology. This in turn enhances accessibility to e-resources within the University premises at all times and irrespective of the location of the users. NLUO has subscribed to all important national as well as international databases.
