North Carolina State University, the largest university in the Carolinas, operates under dedicated ZIP code 27695 in Wake County, North Carolina. The North Carolina General Assembly established the institution on March 7, 1887, as North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts under the federal Morrill Land-Grant Act. Developer Richard Stanhope Pullen donated half his farmland for the campus, with the other half becoming Pullen Park. The cornerstone of the main building (now Holladay Hall) was laid in 1888, and the college formally opened on October 3, 1889, with 72 students, six faculty members, and one building. The institution became North Carolina State University at Raleigh in 1965 and today enrolls over 34,000 students as a prestigious Research 1 institution.
The postal designation serves one of the state's most extensive campus mail operations. Postal records identify 209 ZIP+4 codes serving 207 named buildings and departments across campus. Mail reaches locations including multiple colleges (Agriculture & Life Sciences, Engineering), academic departments, ROTC programs, the Agromeck yearbook office, research facilities, and administrative services. This building directory reflects the university's sprawling presence as a major research institution.
