Centennial Campus is a leading research park with an essential difference: <strong>proximity to talent</strong>. Unlike other university research campuses, we're inseparable from the university we serve — and from the wider Research Triangle.

We're home to key NC State academic units, to labs, companies, core facilities, amenities and one of the world's most advanced libraries. Students, faculty, university staff, and corporate and public-sector partners rub shoulders and cross paths as part of a vibrant community.

NC State is a national research powerhouse renowned for its real-world focus and its success in partnering with industry and government. We excel at both basic and applied research — at breaking new ground and bringing new products to market.
