Campus

NC State is rich with spaces that inspire connection, learning and growth.

NC State is the largest university in the University of North Carolina System. Located west of downtown Raleigh on 2,099 acres, it also includes nearby research farms, biology and ecology sites, horticulture and floriculture nurseries, and research forests that cover an additional 3,000 acres. Elsewhere across the state are research farms and 4-H camps.

Rooted in our land-grant mission, NC State is dedicated to teaching, research and serving the people of North Carolina and beyond.

Sustainability is at the heart of this mission and vision. From its built environment to sustainable transportation and commitment to zero waste, NC State is leading the way to reduce our environmental impact, support thriving communities and create a resilient future.
