Editor's Notes
- In fact, the late Claude McKinney, who was really the visionary behind the campus, was fond of saying that partnering is a contact sport. It’s why we exist and why we work so hard to engage with people. We think partnerships are THE single most important element to making Centennial what it is today.
- First, some background about NC State
- NC State is the largest university in North Carolina and the surrounding states, including Virginia, South Carolina and Tennessee and has about 34,000 students. It’s also the top provider of new graduates to such companies as Cisco, IBM, NetApp, SAS, Duke Energy and Boeing and it has the 4th largest undergraduate engineering program in the U.S. It is the flagship engineering and tech university for the entire UNC system and it currently ranks 6th in industry-supported research among its peers. It has also seen 100 startups and spinoff companies created from the technology developed by its faculty and researchers.
- The University consists of 11 colleges and a graduate school – which is located on Centennial Campus.
- There are four primary strategic research areas for the University. These change from time to time, but currently they consist of Health & Well-Being, Safety & Security, Energy & Environment, and Educational Innovation. Supporting those research areas are several initiatives that cut across all of them, such as our entrepreneurial network, advanced materials and manufacturing and policy and leadership. I want to especially point out Advanced Computing and Analytics – which we are especially strong in. The purpose of all of this of work, of course, is to drive economic and social benefit – both to the region and to the country at large.
- Now let’s talk about Centennial Campus
- It goes back more than 30 years when the State government deeded over the land to the University. Since that time, as you can see, a lot has transpired since that time. And it’s worth noting – 60% of all of the development on the campus has occurred in the last 5 years.
- The campus is actually two locations – the larger piece of property and the Biomedical Campus which is just northwest of the Central Campus. It’s also worth noting that Centennial is twice the size of the Central and original campus, so you can see that Centennial is a major commitment by the University. Currently, there are 45 buildings on the property and about a billion in infrastructure has spent. I might also add that our occupancy rate has historically been very high, including during the Great Recession.
- We’re currently at around 4 million square feet of developed space and have 70 partners. During the academic year, we estimate that more than 11,000 people use the campus every day. As you can see, we’re not quite halfway to our projections.
- A lot of people ask us how we fund the buildings on campus. There are actually five vehicles. There are, of course, state appropriated academic buildings, such as the Engineering and Textile complexes. We also float bonds to pay for construction of other buildings and then pay back our loans through the capture of rent. A number of our buildings are also privately developed. In those cases, the University still owns the land underneath the building and implements a land lease. Funds for buildings can also be raised by fundraising efforts, such as the Chancellor’s residence, and a few buildings are state or county government owned, such as the Wildlife Resources Commission building.
- As for current and future buildings – we have a number of projects started or in development. We’ve broken ground for a new hotel and conference center, we’re expanding our footprint of townhomes on Centennial, we are working on plans to build a town center in the middle of the campus, and we have received state funds to build the next and last Engineering building, which will bring all of the Engineering departments over to Centennial – with the exception of one – the nuclear reactor facility. We’re also in the early fundraising stages for an Entrepreneurship Center.
- But perhaps its real advantage is the proximity and access to talent it provides to its partners.
- And there are lots of opportunities to partner. We don’t limit people. There are no hard and fast rules that say a company or agency must partner with the University in some certain way. There are lots of ways in which to engage with us and we encourage our partners to take advantage of many of them.
- Our mix – seven out of our ten partners are in industry, with rest being in government and non-profits. There’s nothing hard and fast about any of this, but it’s been pretty consistent over the years.
- Our partners also have a national and global presence in all corners of the U.S. and the rest of the world. Those companies that are in yellow don’t have a physical presence on Centennial, but rather have a research relationship with us that alllows them to take advantage of the resources that are available at the University.
- Here’s a good example of a partnership that involves what we call the Triple Helix – government, industry and academia. President Obama came to NC State last year to announce this institute, which is helping find breakthrough innovations in advanced manufacturing in power electronics.
- Here’s another example. The Department of Defense created a laboratory focused on Big Data and Analytics and decided to house it on Centennial campus. In addition to tapping into NC State researchers, the lab also taps into the wealth of talent and resources in the various companies in the Triangle, including the ones listed here.
- An speaking of major research efforts, we created a division just to handle the partnerships associated with working with companies who don’t plan on having a Centennial footprint, but still want a research relationship with the University. It’s called Industry Alliances and it manages master research agreements and new IP models.
- So what’s next? Where do we go from here? They say the enemy of success is success, so we’ve decided that it’s probably not a good idea to rest on laurels.
- To that end, we brought together nearly 100 people over a year and a half to help brainstorm and come up with some new ideas about where we should be headed in the next 20 years. We got some really interesting ideas and captured them all. But we eventually narrowed down the list to something manageable.
- We call those ideas VISION 2034 –so named because that’s the date where Centennial will be 50 years old.
- So as you heard – we intend to turn Centennial Campus in the premier Innovation Destination in North America.
- One way to do that is to turn the entire campus into a proving ground, where we test all kinds of new and exciting ideas.
- We also think we have a great opportunity to test and develop new advanced transportation technology systems. NC State is particularly well-suited to tackle some of the big challenges associated with future transportation and we think Centennial can have major role in that effort.
- Of course, you always need additional space to get things done and Centennial is no exception. But we don’t want to just build more buildings. We want to build collaborative places where students, researchers, faculty and corporate and government partners can interact and learn from each other.
- And we want to use the campus to bridge the divide between science and art, technology and the humanities in exciting and dramatic ways.
- And finally – we want recognize all of the stellar work that’s been done on campus by recognizing its scholars and inventors.
- So there you have it. Centennial Campus has been an outstanding success by any standard of measurement, but it’s far from finished. In fact, some would say – and I would agree with them – that it’s best years are still ahead.
