ECPI University moves Greensboro campus to larger High Point site

ECPI University’s move to High Point gave students, employers and the Triad business corridor a larger training base, with a 55,000-square-foot campus built for hands-on instruction at 3975 Premier Drive. The new site replaces ECPI’s former Greensboro location at 7802 Airport Center Drive and is positioned near I-40, a change the university says should make commuting easier for students coming from Greensboro, High Point, Kernersville and Winston-Salem.

The relocation is more than a change of address. ECPI said the building includes updated labs, industry-current equipment and learning spaces designed to mirror real workplace settings, with room to grow healthcare and technology programs. That makes the High Point campus a practical workforce asset for Guilford County and the surrounding region, where employers continue to look for job-ready graduates in medical and technical fields.

Campus President Connie Jakubcin said the move is about giving students “the environment today’s students and employers expect.” The new setting is intended to strengthen the link between classroom training and the daily realities of hiring in the Triad, where transportation access and proximity to industry partners can shape enrollment and job placement.

ECPI said its Greensboro campus has served the community since 1988, when it became the school’s first campus outside Virginia. That long local footprint now continues from High Point, where the university says it serves roughly 1,500 students across its three North Carolina locations and graduates about 750 each year into the state’s workforce. For Guilford County, the shift places a familiar school in a larger building while keeping its student base rooted in the same regional labor market.

The move also underscores High Point’s role in the broader education-and-workforce economy. By bringing ECPI’s Greensboro operation into a larger facility on Premier Drive, the university is betting that better access, bigger labs and more room to expand will help draw more students into programs tied directly to hiring demand.
