-At the university's founding in 1962, it occupied the former home of Rabindranath Tagore. While two of the three faculties of the University, those of [[Fine Arts]] and [[Visual Arts]], are still located there, when the Faculty of Arts was founded in 1976, it was located on a new campus at 56A, B. T. Road, Kolkata-50. The new campus was on the grounds of the "Emerald Bower," a mansion built by [[Harakumar Tagore]], the poet's uncle. The mansion and its parklands, later acquired by the Government of [[West Bengal]], became a complex of academic institutions among which this University has the central and larger share. The main administrative office is also situated at the Emerald Bower Campus.
