Gateway University Research Park is a joint research campus developed in collaboration with North Carolina A&T State University and The University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

Gateway University Research Park will develop two 75-acre campuses. The South campus will be located on approximately 75 acres of the N.C. A&T State University farm property located off Lee Street near the I-40/85 interchange. Currently, the site is undeveloped; however, an early 2007 groundbreaking is anticipated.

The North Campus is located northeast of the city off Route 29 near the Reedy Fork mixed-use development near Bryan Park. The North Campus currently has eight buildings comprising approximately 140,000 square feet of space that will be renovated in support of university research and economic development. The first such renovation is scheduled to begin in January 2007.
