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.
Last month, Abraham Dones was named Vice President and Chief Student Services Officer at Durham Tech – making him the first male Latinx vice president at the College.
For four decades, Durham Tech has been the first college campus for future Eagles, Tar Heels, Wolfpackers, and many other four-year destinations for thousands of Durham and Orange County residents.
In recent years, Durham Tech has developed Guaranteed Admissions Pathways at several nearby universities to give students the security and comfort of knowing these institutions have a spot ready for them.
Durham Tech has also worked to build new articulation agreements to make transferring easier for students in specific programs and for private colleges.
