THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA2012-13 Capital PrioritiesTHE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT CHARLOTTEScience Building – $12,638,337 – PlanningThis 236,210 square-foot building would provide teaching, research, and office space for the departments ofchemistry, physics, biochemistry, and biology, as well as space for collaboration with industry partners. Each ofthese departments now administers at least one doctoral program. Presently, the chemistry and physicsdepartments are housed in the Burson Building, with 1960s-style laboratories that are inadequate for graduatelevelinstruction and research and lack adequate fume hoods, heating and air conditioning, ventilation, firealarms, and sprinkler systems. Planning funds totaling $2,400,000 were appropriated by the 2008 GeneralAssembly but were later reverted. The total cost of this project is $126,383,375.THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT GREENSBORONursing/Classroom/Office Building – $13,063,300 – PlanningThis project would construct a 200,000 square-foot, four-floor building consisting of laboratory and supportspace, academic teaching facilities, and office space. Building design will incorporate the requirements ofSession Law 2007-546 (SB-668) and will be designed to produce maximum flexibility for rapidly changingacademic programs. This project also includes a Phase 1 Chiller Plant which consists of a 20,000 square-footchiller building, a 2,000-ton chiller and cooling tower, and space for future upgrades to give the plant an ultimatecapacity of 8,000 tons. The total cost of this project is $130,633,000.THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT PEMBROKEInformation Commons Building – $5,945,000 – PlanningAs home to a new campus Library, this multi-functional, 150,000 square-foot building would expand services andimprove access to the Library's traditional and electronic collections. The building also would house UniversityComputing and Information Services and the Media Center Department, which supports instructional andadministrative audiovisual needs. This project scope includes the relocation of the existing baseball field onwhich this facility will be sited per the Facilities Master Plan. Planning funds totaling $2,000,000 wereappropriated by the 2008 General Assembly but were later reverted. The total cost of this project is $59,450,000.THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT WILMINGTONAllied Health and Human Sciences Building – $4,631,300 – PlanningIn keeping with UNC Tomorrow’s goal of increased access to quality health care, especially in rural areas,UNCW has developed a health programs strategic plan that includes a Health and Human Services College withstrong partnerships with practitioners and other UNC campuses. Two of the four facilities envisioned by that plan(Psychology Building, School of Nursing facility) have already been funded. This third, 165,000 square-footfacility would house the new College, the Center for Healthy Living, existing academic programs in Health andApplied Human Sciences and Social Work, and related labs and classrooms that are critical to UNCW’s ability toproduce more health care professionals and expand services to the region. Available sites for the facility requirespecialized foundation work, as well as an extension of the primary electrical infrastructure. Additionally, UNCWplans on obtaining LEED certification, which would add to the initial cost of the facility, but result in significantlong-term energy savings. Planning funds totaling $4,320,000 were appropriated by the 2008 General Assemblybut were later reverted. The total cost of this project is $46,313,000.Page 22 of 23Approved by the Board of Governors on March 6, 2012
