Dental Sciences Building
Approximately 216,000 SF of instructional, research, and academic/research support spaces. The complex shall be sited on the northeast corner of Manning and South Columbia. The project will require the decommissioning and demolition of the existing Dental Office and Dental Research Buildings (approx. 54,000 SF) and renovations to porto will be sited in such a manner to allow for a pedestrian bridge to cross over Manning Drive and connect the new complex to Thurston Bowles.
Morehead Planetarium
The Morehead Planetarium and Science Complex is located on East Franklin Street and is adjacent to Graham Memorial and the Alumni Building. Originally built in 1949 and later added on its east side for the offices of the Morehead Foundation. This building is considered one of the great landmarks on the Carolina Campus. The Morehead Planetarium and Science Center is proposing to build a twenty thousand square feet addition to the Morehead Planetarium. This addition will be located at the north entrance of the Planetarium facing the Morehead Sundial and East Franklin Street. The addition will be part of a comprehensive renovation of the planetarium and it will provide new patron spaces and a new lobby for visitors. Moreover, it will also provide a new entry off of East Franklin Street for the Planetarium. The renovation will include an upgrade of the mechanical and electrical services of the building, an upgrade of the Planetarium, itself and renovations of the exterior features such as the roof and the brick facades. The pedestrian entrance to the planetarium will be substantially improved during this project; while the rotunda entrance on the east side of the building and the Foundation offices on the west side will remain.
Bell Tower Development
Project is a mixed use development that exemplifies many of the key ideas of the Campus Master Plan. The program for the Bell Tower Development includes a 710 car parking deck, a 25 thousand-ton chilled water plant and a new Genome Science Laboratory Building which will provide approximately 210,000 square feet of modern classrooms, laboratories and offices including nine wet labs, four bioinformatics labs, a 250 seat lecture hall, a 450 seat lecture hall, an 80 seat classroom, and four 30 seat seminar rooms, serving faculty, post-doctoral fellows, technicians, graduate students and undergraduates. In addition, an elevated pedestrian walkway will link the Wilson-Dey Building, located north of South Road, with the Sonya Haynes Stone Center, the Bell Tower Development, Fordham Hall, and Medical Drive. The project also will construct a new road running from the southern end of the project south to Manning Drive, and will provide for substantial storm water mitigation for the campus.
Biomedical Research Imaging Building
The project will construct a 343,000 gsf research laboratory building with two levels below grade eight levels above grade. The building will contain wet laboratories, MRI suites, a cyclotron, NMRs, offices, etc.
