Future Plans: The James B. Hunt Jr. Library on Centennial Campus
Planning for the James B. Hunt Jr. Library is underway thanks to a $17 million appropriation from the General Assembly. In addition to supporting the planning process, the funding will also extend the necessary utilities to the library's building site at the south end of NC State's Centennial Campus Oval.
With a total project cost of $114 million, the Hunt Library will be a companion to the D. H. Hill Library, providing critically needed study space for students and faculty. It will house collections focused on engineering, textiles, and specific scientific disciplines that relate to the work being done on Centennial Campus.
The prominent site between the new College of Engineering buildings and the planned Town Center ensures that the library will be on the primary pedestrian pathway and the nexus or "living room" for the campus.
Sharing the 264,000 gross-square-foot facility will be the Institute for Emerging Issues, which former governor James B. Hunt Jr. was instrumental in establishing.
