Rowan-Cabarrus Community College recently signed a lease agreement with Castle & Cooke for a $26 million classroom and laboratory building on the NC Research Campus. This extension onto the campus is key to the college's efforts to grow its biotechnology programs in order to prepare our local workforce for the many new life sciences jobs being created there.
As RCCC makes strides to break ground on their new building, groundbreaking research forges ahead at the NCRC. A landmark $1 million donation from Charlotte businessman Herman Stone has launched On the Shoulders of Giants: Carolina's Campaign to Cure MS, an effort to raise $5.2 million to fund multiple sclerosis research at the Campus. Elsewhere in the City, Harmony Labs is investing $3.5 million to expand their facilities and create new jobs.
