According to the official information, one of the most striking features of the campus is the representation of regional art that creates a symbiotic relationship with the architecture. The brick facade features an elegant mapping of Odisha”s traditional IKAT, a patterned textile-dyeing method, in colors reminiscent of the state”s soils.
The newly inaugurated campus is unique in terms of sustainable infrastructure and India’s commitment towards energy efficient system. Under the official information, the sustainable campus with a 4-star GRIHA rating is developed using eco-friendly and energy-efficient development concepts. All of the campus”s interior spaces with fresh air ventilation and regularly inhabited living areas will be fully lighted during the day. STP treated water will be used for flushing and irrigation. Significantly less electricity will be used if LED lights and ECBC-compliant energy-efficient electric appliances—such as DG sets, transformers, lifts, pumps, motors, etc.—are used.
The inaugural ceremony was attended by CMDs and CEOs of many PSUs and Corporates. Over 4000 guests from Industry, Civil Society, Academia and Government officials were present at the occasion.
