In the 1970s, former NC State University Chancellor John Caldwell and former School of Design Dean Henry Kamphoefner founded the Visual Art Program to promote the collection and display of art around the campus. In 1992, the program found a home in the Talley Student Center and was renamed the Visual Arts Center. The Center would continue the conservation and exhibition of student, local, regional and state art. Their collection included architectural drawings and other design pieces by this time. It was renamed the Gregg Museum of Art and Design in 2007 in honor of John and Nancy Gregg.
In 2014, the Gregg moved out of its previous home in Talley Student Center to the former Chancellor's Residence at 1903 Hillsborough Street. It reopened to the public in 2017.
