A new home designed for visiting faculty who are working on special projects at the N.C. Research Campus should be complete by April.

Dubbed simply the Faculty House, this 3,000-square-foot home can accommodate up to five faculty members at a time.

Located within walking distance of the campus at 105 S. Ridge Ave., the house will serve as a home-away-from-home for visiting professors while they collaborate on projects in Kannapolis for weeks or months at a time.

Campus developers razed a run-down boarding house that originally stood on the lot.

Ridge Avenue is home to many boarding houses where teachers once lived when Cannon Mills operated. David H. Murdock got the houses when he bought Cannon Mills and related properties in 1982.

It will be like deja vu to have teachers living on Ridge Avenue again, serving the new N.C. Research Campus on the ruins of the old mill, said campus marketing director Phyllis Beaver, a Kannapolis native.
