In the late 1980s, Durham Tech was growing on all fronts and bursting at the seams for classroom space.
Leadership at the College knew it was time to expand, and in 1989, 27 acres of land were purchased on Snow Hill Road to construct the Northern Durham Center (NDC).
In a message to the campus community in 1989, then-President Phail Wynn Jr. announced the project.
“The northern campus will be built in five phases over a period of ten to fifteen years. The first of these phases includes a 30,000-square-foot, multipurpose building,” Wynn said.
