Here on our 260-acre campus in historic Newport News, Virginia, you'll find boundless energy and magnificent facilities few schools can rival - including a new library, an arts center designed by the firm of internationally renowned architect I.M. Pei, and best-in-class residence halls students tell us they miss when they leave.
Next door is a peaceful, 550-acre woodland park that houses the Mariners' Museum (new window), one of the world's largest maritime history museums.

CNU is located in the heart of one the nation’s most historic - and beautiful - areas. Just a short drive away are significant historic sites, such as Colonial Williamsburg, and great beaches on the Virginia coast. (each link below opens a new window)
- Colonial Williamsburg, just 20 minutes away, is the nation's largest outdoor living history museum. Pre-Revolutionary times come alive through reconstructed homes, stores, and taverns populated by interpreters and actors.
- Virginia Beach offers world-class beaches, great water sports, and a rich nightlife - just 45 minutes from campus.
- Norfolk, the Mid-Atlantic region's most dynamic and progressive cultural center, is 30 minutes from CNU. With a sparkling downtown waterfront and a proud maritime heritage, Norfolk was recently dubbed a "cultural center of note" by The New York Times.
