Appendix F
Description of the Centennial Campus

Slated for development over the next twenty years, the Centennial Campus of the North Carolina State University will consist of a dozen or more research clusters made up of university, corporate, and government laboratories, a hotel-conference center, retail stores, and housing situated around a central lake. The first cluster, on the north side of Lake Raleigh, is already alive with activity.

Nine major buildings are now completed or in planning/construction, based on a forward-looking infrastructure of telecommunications highways, utilities, roads, parking, stormwater system, and sanitary sewers.

Research Building I: Houses University engineering and physical sciences centers of excellence.

Research Building II: Houses corporate partners, University physical science research labs, and engineering centers of excellence.

Research Building III: Houses the National Weather Service, corporate partners, and earth and atmospheric researchers.

Research Building IV: A 70,000-square-foot, multi-tenant building for university and corporate partners in engineering, transportation, energy and environmental research.

College of Textiles Complex: Teaching, research, outreach, and administrative facilities, as well as the Model Manufacturing Center.

Corporate Research Center I: Houses the U.S. Headquarters for Power Transmission and Distribution for multinational ABB Asea Brown Boveri.

Partners Building I: An 80,000-square-foot multi-tenant building for industry and government partners in biotechnology and environmental research.

Partners Building II: A 60,000-square-foot facility to accommodate industrial and computer engineering partners.

The Engineering Graduate Research Center: A 132,000-square-foot advanced laboratory facility to house researchers in civil, electrical, mechanical, materials, computer, and software engineering.

This collection of papers—by American and Russian specialists—addresses a variety of legal, regulatory, institutional, and financial issues that can promote or hinder technology commercialization. The book is the result of a series of workshops organized by the National Research Council with the Russian Academy of Sciences on commercialization of technologies, particularly those developed at research and educational institutions.

Technology Commercialization concludes with a list of actions, programs, and policies which warrant further consideration as Russia tries to improve the success of technology commercialization. This book will be of interest to those concerned with small-business development in post-communist states, university technology management, and comparative technology commercialization.
