We moved! We are now headquartered at the Bullpen in downtown Durham.
| | We Moved!
For the past three years, Learning Innovation called American Tobacco Campus home. However, like many Duke employees, nearly two years of that time was actually spent working from home. As we adapted first to a remote working culture and then again to a hybrid one, our team made the decision to continue with a hybrid working model based out of the Bullpen in downtown Durham. Though our main office location has moved, we will also remain available on-campus at Bostock 128. |
