North Carolina State University's Centennial Campus is a research and advanced technology community where university, industry and government partners interact in multidisciplinary programs directed toward the solution of contemporary problems.

In this "knowledge enterprise zone," clusters of activity break down traditional, artificial barriers to create, integrate, and apply advancements in knowledge. The resulting synergy leads to:

• technological innovation and transfer
• real-world teaching and learning
• sound business investment and
• greater quality of life for North Carolina and beyond.

The unique master plan for this environmentally sensitive, mixed-use, academic village responds to the professional, educational and recreational needs of the University's faculty, staff and student body, as well as those of corporate and government affiliates whose presence on Centennial Campus adds to its vigor and effectiveness.

Centennial Campus is providing a new dimension of excellence for the 21st century in the performance of North Carolina State University's land-grant mission of teaching, research and service to the people of North Carolina.
