Northeastern University’s permanent Portland campus, and future home of the Alfond Center and Lunder Innovation Labs, represents a tangible investment in Maine’s economic future. It will be a paradigm for 21st century education with urban, sustainable, and resilient design. Located at the former home of the iconic B&M Baked Bean cannery, this campus will transform the 13.5-acre site into public open space that will serve as a community asset in alignment with Portland’s environmental stewardship goals. This educational and cutting-edge research facility will integrate seamlessly into the fabric of the city, creating a vibrant, people-centered environment that enriches the lives of our students and employees. Additionally, this facility will fuel the work of our industry partners, while establishing the region as a destination for breakthrough innovation and experiential learning in high-tech, rapidly expanding fields.
