Northeastern opens new Portland campus

The Roux Institute | Northeastern University

On Friday, September 13, New England Council member Northeastern University held a groundbreaking ceremony to mark construction on its new campus in Portland, Maine, that will allow the university to double the student body at the location.

The Roux Institute at Northeastern University’s new campus will mark a significant step forward for Northeastern. The institute opened in 2020, thanks to a $100 million donation from technology entrepreneur David Roux, as well as another $100 million gift months later. The school has 800 students today, but it expects to have room for 2,000 when the new campus is completed in 2028.

“Our mission is to be a driver of the future Maine economy… A larger permanent home for the university’s efforts in Maine is essential,” the Roux Institute’s chief administrative officer, Chris Mallett, said in an interview.

The New England Council congratulates Northeastern University on the construction of this new campus.
