North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (NC A&T) was established as the A&M college for the "Colored Race" in 1891.    HBCU  NC A&T, one of the state's two land grant institutions, has programs throughthe doctoral level. Its programs include engineering, arts and sciences, agricultural and environmental sciences, business and economics, education, nursing, technology, and graduates studies.  “ The expected roles of a land-grant institution, is teaching agriculture and engineering, and providing cooperative extension services”.  NC A&T's 2001 amend University Master Plan called for developing 75 acres  of land along East Lee Street targeted to develop new opportunities for both research and education in both the private and academic arenas between the University's technology and agricultural research and its students, which didn't include across-town historical white UNC Greensboro and its affiliated members of the Greensboro business community.
Nanotechnology, Nanoscience and Nanoengineering, should have been HBCU NCA&T Signature Programs
 
“Signature programs” have been defined as those that are distinctive, that build on existing strengths, that advance the institution’s profile, and that serve regional and/or state economic transformation needs."

"It is predicted that nano scale science will change the nature of almost every human-made product this century. This field has great potential applications in materials, medicine, electronics, optics, data storage, advanced manufacturing, environment, energy, and national security

Reported in the Media: Last month, the members [Greensboro Area Chamber of Commerce] came up with a recommendation: a Knowledge Campus, " more commonly known as a research park. This campus would house N.C. A&T's and UNC-G's flagship research programs, like engineering and biotechnology" There, cutting-edge research could be spun off into startup businesses and lure exiting ones from other parts of the nation. Young people would flock to Greensboro for a shot at high-paying, high-tech jobs with a real future.  Emphasis added. Could Greensboro Support Research Park?

"A Promise for the Future By some accounts, nanotechnology is destined to replace much of today's technology. Gateway University Research Park expects to be at the forefront of these new technologies with the creation of a new institution the Joint School for Nanoscience and Nanoengineering (JSNN)" 15]
 

The Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering will be a unique, interdisciplinary school, located at the South Campus of the Gateway University Research Park, the Joint Millennial campus of the NC A&T and UNCG. New and existing nanotechnology centers developed by faculty at the JSNN, NCA&T, and UNCG will also be housed in the new JSNN building.

  • Gateway University Research Park - facilitating collaborations between world-class researchers and businesses - to move scientific discoveries from the lab to the marketplace by transforming cutting-edge intellectual properties into thriving business ventures.
  • Joint School of  Nanoscience and Nanoengineering - offering an innovative, cross disciplinary graduate program that trains scientists in emerging areas of nanoscience and nanoengineering.
 
" I am so energized by the potential of this research park, in particular the joint schools of nano technology and nano science. The world is seeing explosive growth today in the commercialization of nanotechnology. We will have all of the assets right here in Guilford County that we need to participate in that explosion, and they will be right here at the Gateway University Research Park." said ("Greensboro Boy" ) Erskine Bowles  President of the University of North Carolina System. [2].

Negotiation began in 2002 and September 2004 NC A&T State University celebrated the sighing of Memorandum of Understanding  with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) with the opening of the National Resources Conservation Services Eastern Regional Technology Center whose service area consisted of 24 states and the Caribbean area. The Greensboro Center was also home to the remote sensing lab.  The Memorandum of Understanding says A&T has a working farm with modern facilities and farm equipment. NRCS will benefit from the use of this farm by  being able to provide hands-on training to NRCS employees. NRCS can sponsor field studies that can serve as demonstrations to both NRCS trainees and also local and regional farmers. A negotiated action under Solicitation 5NC0075 resulted in a non-competitive award to locate the USDA Natural Resources Conversation Service's East National Technical Center and East Remote Sensing Laboratory on the North Carolina A&T State University Millennium Campus.

Feb. 2, 2006, Action Item: Lease Agreement between the Greensboro Center for Innovative Development and UNCG and NC A&T, was considered by UNCG Board of Trustees. 
Background
  • In order to facilitate the GCID's ability to perform its role as manager/developer it was determined by counsel for the universities and the GCID to pursue a master lease for the properties identified as the JMC. The lease document is based on a model previously used by several UNC campuses, including UNCG and NCA&T. This document has also been reviewed by the Office of the President.
  • The purpose of this action is to request approval from this Board to proceed with a 50-year ground lease (and two successive 10 year renewals) with the GCID on land owned by the Sate of North Carolina (Approximately 75 acres with 142,000 square feet of existing space at the former Central North Carolina School for the Deaf and approximately 75 acres adjacent to the NCA&T farm),

Action Item background information says, In September 2005 the MSDA formally established a working relationship between the two universities and the GCID for future development- Section I.F. of the MSDA states, "The Universities shall lease to GCID any or all property designated as the JMC. ""In order to facilitate the GCID ability to perform its role as managed/developer it was determined by counsel for the universities and the GCID to pursue a master lease for the properties identified as the JMC ( land owned by the State of North Carolina at the former Central North Carolina School for the Deaf and 75 acres adjacent the the NCA&T farm).  Proposed lease for Identified JMC, former Central North Carolina School for the Deaf and 75 acres adjacent the the NCA&T farm), unambiguous indicate no statutory NCGS: 116-198.34.

Lacking and designated NCA&T/UNCG joint Millennial Campus, the Board of Governor lacked authority pursuant GS 116-198.34 (1) to enter into contracts for the management, lease, use, or operation of all or any portion of any project or projects and any existing facilities.
 

Board of  Governors' document  institutions with millennial campus designations and the UNC System, indicates UNC System millennial campus authorized in 2003 and 2022 and does not indicate a NCA&T/UNCG Joint Millennial Campus  was designated, it did indicate an UNC System millennial Campus in 2003 and 2022.
