Windows in a university-built research park
Research Triangle Park traces to 1959, when academics from Duke, UNC, and NC State developed a research park to keep university graduates in North Carolina after the state's textile and furniture industries declined, and it now spans 7,000 acres with more than 300 companies. Few research parks anywhere were built this deliberately to keep university graduates from leaving the state.
What that means for a window project
Window stock near Research Triangle Park is mostly modern construction, since most of the area's growth followed the park's 1959 founding. A modern-stock specialist can usually quote this kind of swap quickly here. Newer neighborhoods here still use standardized modern sizing, simplifying the ordering process.
