CAMPUS MASTER PLAN UPDATE

Executive Summary
In 2003, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill initiated the process to update the 2001 Campus
Master Plan. In the course of updating the 2001 Plan the University discovered that approximately
fifty percent of the sites proposed by the Plan were under construction or in design and planning. The
University is constructing over six million square feet of new buildings and rehabilitating nearly a million
square feet of existing space. This significant implementation of the 2001 Plan is made possible by funding
from the North Carolina Higher Education Bond Referendum and University based funding sources.
The 2001 Master Plan was developed collaboratively by faculty, staff, students, administrators, and campus
neighbors both immediate and regional, and these four principles guided their efforts:
Support the Universitys mission.
Export qualities of McCorkle and Polk Places to the south campus.
Enhance the Universitys intellectual climate.
Support local and regional planning strategies.
Highlights of the Universitys progress in implementing the 2001 Campus Master Plan include:
Arts Common: The first phase of this project is already under construction. Arts Common will better
connect UNC to downtown Chapel Hill, provide much needed updated performing arts space, and create
new open space in the northwest quadrant of campus.
Science Complex: The first phase of this project is complete; Caudill Laboratories and Chapman Hall
accomplish a major objective of the Master Plan by encouraging collaboration among the many disciplines
across the College of Arts and Sciences. These two laboratory buildings add 270,000 gross sqaure feet of
wet and dry laboratory space, offices, and classrooms.
Rams Head Center: Rams Head is conveniently located for students living in the north and south
campuses and is home to a mix of amenities where they can eat meals, buy groceries, or exercise.
A key design feature of the center is a green roof atop a 700 space parking deck. The green roof helps
to manage stormwater on the site, and is also a plaza that creates a crucial link in the pedestrian route
between the north and south campuses.
Campus Infrastructure Improvements: Most of the improvements recommended in the 2001 Plan have
been implemented. Expansion of campus utilities, such as new steam and chilled water plants, enables the
campus to better accommodate demands of new and renovated buildings. The addition of four parking
decks allows reclamation of surface parking lots for academics and open space.

The UNIVERSITY of NORTH CAROLINA at CHAPEL HILL

The green roof at Carrington Hall is a favorite place to study and helps manage stormwater runoff.

Historic buildings like the Campus Y are a legacy for

the future.

Memorial Grove is one of the many open spaces that have been improved since 2001.

CAMPUS MASTER PLAN UPDATE

South Campus: Additional student housing has been built in the south campus - nine new residence
halls and nine new married student apartment buildings. Not only do these buildings bring more students
to this part of campus, but they better define the streetscape and open spaces of the south campus making
it friendly to pedestrian traffic. Scheduled to be completed in 2007, the new Student Academic Services
Building will bring student services and a major new plaza for student activity to the heart of the
south campus.
Campus Historic Preservation: A commitment to preserve historic buildings as a legacy for future Carolina
students has resulted in restoration and re-use of several well-loved buildings. One example is the Campus Y.
Long underutilized and once slated for demolition, this building has been extensively renovated and now
offers a faculty-student lounge, seminar rooms, University and student offices, as well as a coffee shop.
Environmental Strategy: Growing awareness of sustainability issues has led to a closer examination of energy
and resources used throughout the campus. New initiatives since 2001 include the Sustainability Office,
stormwater management program, tree replacement, water re-use, thermal storage for chilled water, free public
transportation, re-cycling, and additional on-campus student housing. The Campus Sustainability Report
includes more information on this topic and is available on-line:
http://sustainability.unc.edu/office/News/UNC%20Campus%20Sustainability%20Report%20%202005.pdf
Open Space Planning: A number of projects that contribute to the improvement of campus open space
are complete or in progress. Construction of Rams Head, Arts Common, Bondurant Hall, Bell Tower,
Student Academic Services, the parking deck at Cobb-Joyner and Global Education each contribute to the
commitment that the University made in the 2001 Plan to create additional open space on the campus.
Through the course of the Campus Master Plan Update the University has confirmed the original tenets of
the 2001 Plan, and recognized that the implementation of the development program has been successful. The
Update also reveals that the development of the campus since 2001 approaches the responsible capacity of the
land. These objectives will support the Universitys mission driven growth:
Build Carefully Capacity on main campus is limited. The remaining growth potential is about four
and a half million gsf. Of that, fewer than ten building sites, totaling less than one million gsf are
unassigned. Best advantage must be made of the remaining opportunities for buildings and parking.
Strategic Renovation Renewal of existing facilities will be required to meet the ongoing needs of
main campus.
South Access Road Main campus growth continues to be concentrated in south campus, and
requires improved access to the area. If financed by public funds, the administrative process for the
necessary south access road is expected to take ten years or more; work must begin now to meet this
future need.
Carolina North This mixed use development is critical to the Universitys future; its development
will ease current space constraints and support new research and business relationships.

Campus Master Plan Update

This revised plan for the campus reflects the remarkable strides made toward realization of the 2001 Plan.
Many changes and new ideas have been implemented, and many more are in progress. The campus has
experienced significant, rapid growth over the past five years, but this pace is slowing somewhat to a more
traditional schedule. The many new buildings and additions will facilitate renovation and maintenance of
existing facilities.
Many findings of the Update are consistent with the 2001 Plan, therefore the two documents are meant
to be used together going forward. What follows are highlights of adjustments to the Plan, organized by
district, with attention to key planning issues that arose in the course of the Update.
North District
1. Arts Common
No underground parking deck, instead surface parking will accommodate service, accessibility,
and employees.
2. Porthole Alley
Updated plans reflect changes in program needs and recognize use constraints.
3. Whitehead Hall
Renovation will accommodate Carolina Inn expansion needs.
4. Science Complex
A larger central quad atop an underground science library is planned.
5. Morehead Planetarium and Science Center
Expansion to the north will accommodate visitor needs and engage with Franklin Street.
6. Davie Hall
Building will be demolished and replaced.
7. Student Housing
Reduced pressure for new housing allows preservation of open space southeast of Kenan and
McIver Halls. Site southwest of Cobb Hall developed as a Parking Deck and Chiller Plant, with
recreational open space.
8. Jackson Hall
Plans for renovation and expansion forthcoming.
9. School of Government
Update makes allowance for future expansion.

Open Space Network and Pedestrian Circulation

Open Space Network
Protection and creation of open space was essential to approval of the 2001 Plan. The University has made
significant progress in qualitative improvements to open space through out the campus.
To support quality open space, Chancellor Moeser appointed a task force to inventory and evaluate the
campus landscape. The Landscape Heritage and Plant Diversity Task Force identified and established
guidelines for protection and preservation of heritage trees, significant trees and landmark spaces. The task
forces findings are documented in a written report which also includes landscape design guidelines for new
and renovated spaces and a tree replacement policy, in addition to the tree protection guide-lines already in
place. The final report was reviewed and approved by the Chancellors Buildings and Grounds Committee,
and it is available on-line:
http://www.fac.unc.edu/AboutUs/Grounds/tabid/87/HeritageLandscape/tabid/_83/Default.aspx
A number of improvement projects are complete or in progress. The resulting open spaces from construction
of Rams Head Center, the Science Complex, the Northeast Chiller Plant and Parking Deck, and the Global
Education Building each make a positive difference to the campus - as do renovation of the landscape
around South Building, Gerrard Hall, and Playmakers Theater and new gardens at Memorial, Murphey, and
Saunders Halls. The quality of the open space in and around these projects is dramatically improved, as are
the pedestrian links through them. Other projects that will improve open space that are in planning or under
construction include the Student Academic Services Building, Arts Common, the Bell Tower project, and
Dental Sciences.
Each of these projects has contributed to a bold commitment that the University made in the 2001 Plan to
set aside additional acreage for open space on the campus. The bulk of this commitment will be realized in
south campus in the area currently occupied by Odum Village. The proposed 10 acre park will be larger than
Polk and McCorkle Places combined, and offer relief from the intensity of south campus, as well as storm
water management benefits. The creation of this open space hinges on new construction and renovation of
residence halls that will replace Odum Village.

Pedestrian Circulation
One goal of the 2001 Plan was to strengthen and enrich the connections between north and south
campus. Major strides to achieve this goal are or will be complete within the next few years. The newly
completed Rams Head Center bridges a significant grade change between north and south campus and is
the linchpin of their connection. Renovation and expansion of Bondurant and Carrington Halls facilitate
pedestrian circulation. Soon-to-be completed, the Student Academic Services Building and its associated
pedestrian paths will strengthen the connection from Rams Head south. Finally, the Bell Tower project,
now in design, will create a pedestrian bridge across South Road to better link north campus with the
Health Affairs precinct. Also in design is a new Dental Sciences facility, which will include a pedestrian
bridge across Manning Drive. Completion of these projects will minimize conflict with automobiles from
campus routes from Polk Place to the Thurston Bowles Building. Improved crosswalks along Country
Club Road, South Road, Mason Farm Road, and South Columbia Street have made many intersections
safer for pedestrians. Additional streetscape improvements are planned for Ridge Road, South Columbia
Street, South Road, and Skipper Bowles Drive.
Carolinas pedestrian network continues to be characterized and united by brick walks with low stone
walls. The diagram shows primary paths in red. These paths will be well lit and barrier free; the University
is committed to making as many as possible universally accessible. Secondary paths are indicated in orange.
Improvements to the pedestrian network, especially safety and accessibility, are just as important in this
Update as they were in the 2001 Plan. A new capital project fee will fund a priority list of pedestrian
safety improvements.

Transportation System*
The most significant changes in the transportation elements contained in the 2001 Campus Master
Plan are the provision of parking, and to a lesser degree, planned road improvements. Promoting and
encouraging the use of alternatives to driving alone was strongly recommended in the 2001 Plan, and
continues to be a necessary focus (particularly park-and-ride and transit). Since 2001 there have been
major improvements and successes in these areas: riding Chapel Hill Transit is free to all users and ridership
has increased by over sixty percent, and the amount of park-and-ride spaces has doubled to close to 4,000
and use has increased by over ninety percent.
Parking
The earlier 2001 Plan identified sixteen potential sites for future structured parking, including levels of
parking beneath buildings or underground decks, to compensate for displaced surface parking (estimated
in excess of 5,000 spaces) and provide for growth. The new decks had the potential to add approximately
10,000 spaces, or a net increase on Main Campus of about 4,000 spaces.
Since 2001, four parking decks have been completed (Rams Head, Cobb-Joyner, Jackson Circle, and
Global Education). These four decks have a total of 2,124 spaces. The Update still includes sixteen sites for
parking structures (including the ones completed since 2001). However, there have been some changes in
the proposed locations (the number of spaces in some locations also has changed):
Two underground decks proposed as part of Arts Common and the redevelopment of the Venable
Hall site have been removed from the plans as a result of more detailed design for these sites.
An expansion of the Craige deck is now included, by adding several levels to the existing facility.
A deck shown directly south of the Kenan-Flagler School of Business has been removed from the
plan.
A deck is now included for a portion of the Skipper Bowles Drive parking lot.
A small deck proposed for the lot on the north side of Skipper Bowles Drive opposite the Dean
Smith Center has been removed from the plan, and instead a low deck is now shown on the
tennis courts adjacent to this lot with the courts replaced on the roof.
The Update maintains the net increase of about 4,000 spaces that was provided in the 2001 Plan. Since
2001, experience has shown that the number of parking spaces projected for a site in the Master Plan
is not always achievable when more detailed site planning occurs. To compensate for the expected
discrepancy, the Update identifies potential for more spaces than will actually be built.

Roads
South Access Road
The 2001 Plan included a new access road from Fordham Boulevard to East Drive. The primary goals for
the road are to provide additional access from Fordham Boulevard and divert traffic from Manning Drive.
While the road is shown in the Update in a somewhat different configuration, it is still needed for the
following reasons:
Traffic on Manning Drive is projected to increase in the future as a result of hospital growth and
additional parking decks in that area.
The level of pedestrian activity on, and particularly the number of pedestrians crossing, Manning
Drive is increasing. Many of these are students in the residence halls around the Ridge Road
intersection. Reducing traffic on Manning Drive would improve pedestrian safety and the general
pedestrian environment.
There is significant congestion at the Manning Drive/Fordham Boulevard intersection in the
afternoon peak period. Traffic leaving the campus at this time and queuing to turn left onto
Fordham Boulevard typically backs up past Skipper Bowles Drive. In addition to increases in
traffic on Manning Drive, traffic also is projected to increase on Fordham Boulevard, with no
capacity improvements planned.
The Update continues to include new buildings along and south of Mason Farm Road. These will
benefit from direct access from Fordham Boulevard.
The 2001 Plan showed a new divided four-lane road approximately paralleling and to the north of Mason
Farm Road. This resulted in a total of six lanes of pavement. While this original concept is still viable, the
following concept is more sustainable and could be constructed mostly on University property by:
Building a single, four-lane divided boulevard by moving existing Mason Farm Road slightly to
the north, using these two realigned lanes for eastbound movement, and adding two lanes on the
north side of the two realigned lanes, separated from Mason Farm Road by a wide landscaped
median, for westbound travel.
Installing sidewalks and planting strips on both sides of the boulevard. On the south
(neighborhood) side, these would partially be located in the path vacated by the existing Mason
Farm Road, i.e., part of the existing roadbed will be redeveloped as a vegetative buffer, planting
strip and sidewalk.

Proposed Mason Farm Road Alignment - At 1306 Mason Farm Road (Just West of Oteys Road)

21

The UNIVERSITY of NORTH CAROLINA at CHAPEL HILL

Most new road construction would be on the north side of existing Mason Farm Road. In addition to
allowing more area for vegetation than the six-lane option, this option also retains more buffer between
the road and the new student housing.
Bell Tower Connector
The 2001 Plan included a new road connection from a proposed parking deck on what is now the Bell
Tower surface lot to Manning Drive. More detailed studies for the Bell Tower site have resulted in a
smaller deck being proposed, avoiding the need for a second access connection (which was intended to
supplement the existing access from South Road).
Transit
Effective transit services, at both the local and regional levels, are critical to the functioning of Main
Campus given the constraints of the road system and parking limitations. The parking plan developed for
the 2001 Plan assumed that fixed guideway transit (rail or bus) would enter the campus from Durham or
Research Triangle Park, and connect to other local transit services. The transit corridor was dedicated for
this purpose. Regional transit has since suffered a setback with the loss of federal funding for the initial
rail line segment between Durham and Raleigh, but the corridor is being retained as new options for
improved regional transit are explored. The University will continue to support initiatives for more and
enhanced transit, as it helps reduce parking needs, removes traffic from the campus streets, and provides
mobility options for the campus population.
The Update continues to preserve a corridor for rail or bus rapid transit. The corridor starts at Fordham
Boulevard just east of Mason Farm Road and terminates in the area of the Hospitals.

22

CAMPUS MASTER PLAN UPDATE

Utilities*
In 2002, the University completed an Energy Systems Infrastructure Improvements Master Plan. Updates
to this plan were completed in January 2006.
Campus chiller and steam plants are considered models of efficiency for centralized supply systems, and
the University is working to achieve higher levels of sustainability by employing more efficient heating,
ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment, energy modeling, and building commissioning. As
a result, building systems are becoming more efficient and more complex, making education of building
occupants as to the most efficient way to use buildings increasingly important.
Implementation of the 2001 Campus Master Plan to date has resulted in a dramatic increase in demand
for service from the campus utility infrastructure. Utility projects completed to meet new needs are
described in the following three sections.
Utility Systems
The most significant change to plans for utility systems since the adoption of the 2001 Plan is the addition
of a reclaimed water system. This system is being planned and implemented in conjunction with Orange
Water and Sewer Authority (OWASA), and will be used to supply makeup water to the cooling towers at
the chiller plants and the Cogeneration Facility. The reclaimed water system requires a water tower which
will be located at the south end of the Manning Steam Plant. The first phase of the project will serve the
North, South, East, and Tomkins Chiller Plants, as well as the UNC Hospitals chiller plants. Later phases
will extend the system to the Northeast Chiller Plant and the Cogeneration Facility. Utilizing reclaimed
water conserves the community potable water supply, and in the future reclaimed water will likely be used
for additional purposes such as irrigation.
Plants

* Prepared by University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

23

The UNIVERSITY of NORTH CAROLINA at CHAPEL HILL

The new plant capacities identified in the 2001 Master Plan have largely been completed, although in a
slightly different configuration than originally planned. Additional capacity has been added at the Cobb and
Tompkins Chiller Plants. These improvements have increased chilled water system capacity to approximately
50,000 tons. Further capacity expansions planned at the North and East Chiller Plants have yet to be
completed.
Since the adoption of the 2001 Master Plan, capacity at the Cogeneration Facility on Cameron Avenue has
increased to 750,000 pounds per hour. Additionally, a new 400,000 pound per hour steam plant is nearing
completion on Manning Drive. These projects complete the boiler plant capacity expansion called for in
the 2001 Master Plan.
A new Chiller Plant site at the south end of the Manning Steam Plant has been identified in the 2006
Update to accommodate additional future chiller capacity.
Distribution Systems
The 2001 Plan called for expansion and improvement of the existing distributions systems. A new network,
the South Campus Utility Tunnel, is nearing completion. This walkable tunnel contains steam and chilled
water piping. An electrical ductbank, potable water, and reclaimed water piping systems run in the same
corridor, but not within the tunnel. Additionally, old steam and hot water distribution piping system
upgrades throughout the campus are nearing completion.

These square footage charts for each of the three campus districts replace the charts included in the
2001 Campus Master Plan. These charts, like the original ones, give the general intent of the Master Plan
relative to the massing and scale of proposed buildings, and allow the University to plan for the future
based on the environmentally responsible capacity of the land.
The accompanying diagrams identify each proposed building by letter-number combination. The letter
relates to each of the respective geographical districts. N represents North District, SE is Southeast District,

Acknowledgments
The 2001 Plan was the product of an intensely collaborative process that engaged large numbers in the
campus community, as well as local citizens and officials. A similarly collaborative approach was employed
to produce the 2006 Update. The University is grateful to every person who participated in the process.
Many meetings both internal and external to the University were held to capture and learn from the
experience of the communities on and around campus. Service providers (University and commercial),
faculty, students, administrators, neighbors, visitors and staff were asked to contribute to the Update process
on numerous occasions:
