A&T has more than $350 million in projects on the table this year, including a new $64 million residential complex and a $13 million urban community food processing complex at the University Education and Research Farm. University officials will break ground on both projects this fall.
Three projects at the university’s Gateway Research Park – South Campus will also take shape in 2023-24: a $38 million Community Education Center in collaboration with Guilford County Schools, a $110 million data analytics “Dream Center” in collaboration with Impact Data, and a $1.5 million biotechnology training center with Merck pharmaceutical corporation.
Martin said eight degree programs are either enrolling their first students, beginning to accept applications or going to the University of North Carolina System Board of Governors for review and approval this year. Seven of the eight are doctoral and master’s degree programs. The programs are:
