Union Square at South Elm in Greensboro, North Carolina is a 7-acre project that includes Union Square Campus, a planned health care and nursing campus to be used by Cone Health and three colleges in the city: The University of North Carolina at Greensboro, North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, and Guilford Technical Community College.
One site was on West Market Street and included part of Greensboro College; one was a county-owned site south of NewBridge Bank Park, and one was on East Lee Street in what was called the South Elm Redevelopment Project.
A fourth location was known to Opportunity Greensboro co-chairman Ed Kitchen, but he declined to give details.
The campus was expected to lead to other development in the area, and 6 acres of land were available next to the site.
