CRI Campus

The Institute's campus, a geographically distinct part of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, was created in 2002 to further the university’s teaching, research, and service mission as well as to enhance the economic development of the region.
The CRI campus is a Millennial Campus, as defined by North Carolina legislation, and offers special opportunities for collaboration with private sector partners. In particular, partner companies may contract for use of research capabilities or facilities on the Millennial Campus, contract for sole-use space, and construct and manage privately owned buildings. The Charlotte Research Institute manages all activities of the Millennial Campus.
The Millennial Campus currently covers 102 acres of land. A 12 acre parcel on the core campus included six buildings: Cameron Hall, Burson Hall, Health and Human Services, College of Education, Smith Hall, and Woodward Hall. An 84 acre parcel adjoining Tryon St. on the north side of the University includes Grigg Hall and Duke Centennial Hall. Construction is underway for an ninth building for Bioinformatics and construction will soon begin on three additional buildings for engineering research and education.
