An Orange County campus for Durham Technical Community College will open next month, officials said Thursday.

The 19.6-acre campus, located on the east side of Old N.C.

A 40,000-square-foot building includes 22 classrooms and computer and science labs, as well as a library and faculty and student lounge.

A May 2 grand opening will include tours from 3:30 to 6 p.m., refreshments and live music. A brief program is scheduled for 4 p.m.
