Funded by the 2013 Mecklenburg County bonds, the building is expected to open to students in January 2020.

Once completed, the new six-story North Classroom Building will add 23 classrooms as well as four biology and two chemistry labs. It will also house 29 computer classrooms and a 200-seat auditorium in addition to faculty and staff offices.

CPCC's next-largest building is the Overcash Building, completed in 2005, that contains 128,304 square feet. It's also located on the college's Central Campus.
