NC State is forwarding its vision to expand the innovation ecosystem on Centennial Campus.

The Board of Trustees of the Endowment Fund of NC State University has entered into agreements with Lincoln Harris, in partnership with Goldman Sachs Asset Management, to guide the next phase of public-private development on NC State’s Centennial Campus – the development of approximately 30 acres of land north of the Oval as a mixed-use “learn/live/work/play” environment.

The future development will expand and supplement the existing innovation ecosystem in support of the university’s education, research and statewide outreach mission. This project will also provide ample new amenities to serve the university community and as well as partners on Centennial Campus.

The project will be developed in phases over the next decade or more, with initial site work commencing as early as 2022.




NC State is in the early phases of planning up to 32 acres of urban, mixed-use development to support public-private partnerships and leading-edge research.

The future development will expand and supplement the existing innovation ecosystem in support of the university’s education, research and statewide outreach mission. This project will also provide ample new amenities to serve the university community and as well as partners on Centennial Campus.
