Nature Conservancy moves NC, regional offices to Durham
The Nature Conservancy will relocate its regional and state headquarters to Durham's American Tobacco Campus.
Posted — UpdatedKatherine Skinner, executive director of The Nature Conservancy’s North Carolina Chapter, cited the reclaimed industrial campus as a draw for the nonprofit, which works to conserve land and water.
“For us, moving to American Tobacco made perfect sense and opened up lots of opportunities to be both more sustainable and make a bigger impact on our community,” Skinner said.
The Nature Conservancy's 13,000-square-foot offices in the Strickland Building will house about 40 to 50 staffers. They will contribute to campus life by cultivating a garden between the Strickland Building and Tyler’s Taproom.
“We’ve made great strides as a campus community to always look at new ways of conserving energy and respecting our natural environment. We’re excited to have real pros like TNC here to show us even more ways of doing right by our environment,” said said Michael Goodmon, vice president of real estate, Capitol Broadcasting Company.
