North Carolina State University, Office of Finance and Business, Centennial Campus Records 1974 - 2011

http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/findingaids/ua003_010

The Centennial Campus Records document the development of Centennial Campus from the initial 1984 land allocation through its twentieth anniversary celebration, with the bulk of the content focused on the late 1980s and early 1990s. Containing correspondence, proposals, reports, articles, brochures, clippings, electronic images, and other materials, the items discuss general design and development issues, the campus's administrative structure, the master developer (Carley Capital Group), Centennial Campus partners, the natural environment, infrastructure, facilities construction, and traffic. Materials range in date from 1974 to 2011. Between 1984 and 1985 Governor James B. Hunt, Jr. and Governor James G. Martin transferred over 800 acres of state land to North Carolina State University. The university settled on the idea of creating Centennial Campus, a "technopolis" where university units, governmental entities, and private industry could share facilities and collaborate on projects. From 1988 to 2000 Claude E. McKinney served as coordinator of Centennial Campus and shaped its development. Since beginning its operation, the campus has attracted a variety of prominent tenants, including ABB, Red Hat, Inc., and the National Weather Service and it has become home to the College of Textiles and the College of Engineering.
