MoreThis collection is divided into five series, each containing a different kind of material: slides, photographs, negatives, other, and oversized. Subjects include aerial views; buildings and places; events; golf; maps, models, and renderings; other research parks; people, presentation materials; and transportation. The slides make up the most extensive postion of the Centennial Campus images, but the photograph series contains a small number of unique images. 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, led by Chancellor Bruce Poulton, 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. With the guidance of coordinator Claude E. McKinney, the campus attracted a variety of tenants, such as ABB, Red Hat, Inc., and the National Weather Service and saw the relocation of the College of Textiles and phased segments of the College of Engineering.
