Alamance Community College opened the $19.4 million Biotechnology Center of Excellence in March of 2023 in Graham, N.C. Designed by Clark Nexsen, the 32,000-sf facility provides a large general teaching lab, a cleanroom, seminar and conference rooms, faculty offices, and specialized labs for programs in biotechnology, medical laboratory technology, histotechnology, and agricultural biotechnology. Enabling hands-on, experiential learning, the light-filled structure features sophisticated training suites where students can acquire the skills sought by life science companies. LabCorp, a health diagnostics firm based in Burlington, contributed $1 million in funding for the project.
The center includes a business incubator to foster industry partnerships, as well as shell space that may eventually house a simulated biopharmaceutical manufacturing facility. The three-story development is complemented by a new plaza and green space with a tiered seating area that can double as an outdoor classroom. Ground was broken on the project in May of 2021.
