A Legacy of Innovation

Join us as we celebrate all we've accomplished since 1899 and the bright future ahead!

At the heart of NC State’s history,

You’ll find the history of the Wilson College of Textiles. We are part of the foundation of the university’s proud land-grant tradition.

Since we opened our doors in 1899, we’ve developed breakthroughs in medicine and protective textiles, prepared leading designers, and pushed the industry towards more sustainable practices.

We can’t wait to see what the next 125 years hold.
