Campus Enterprises is NC State’s lead division of retail and hospitality organizations — University Dining, NC State Bookstores, Trademark Licensing, Lonnie Poole Golf Course, University Student Centers (Witherspoon, Thompson, Price and Talley), and the Wolfpack One Card Services. Each unit shares a common goal: deliver quality and efficient services worth dedicated financial support for student activity and scholarships.
Grounded in an entrepreneurial spirit that embraces the entire university community, Campus Enterprises is leading campus-wide efforts such as the $120 million Talley Student Center Renovation and Addition, the Carol Poole Club House at the Lonnie Poole Golf Course, and Centennial Campus Hotel/Conference Center and Town Center. Recent projects include the Atrium Food Court renovation and temporary Bookstore relocation to Harrelson.
