Chancellor's Faculty Excellence Program Support
The NC State University Libraries works closely with the Chancellor's Faculty Excellence Program (CFEP) and interdisciplinary cluster programs at NC State to support research, teaching, and outreach across disciplines.
Darby Orcutt, Director of Interdisciplinary Partnerships, coordinates with and advises the university’s clusters on potential research, curricular, and outreach strategies, facilitating connections with appropriate Libraries staff and resources, and helping them to discover and engage with external projects, initiatives, funding opportunities, and industry partners.

Faculty research spaces
The Faculty Research Commons at the Hunt Library is a comfortably furnished space for faculty to engage in both individual and collaborative work. The space includes a common area and reservable workrooms, focus rooms, and a conference room. At the D. H. Hill Jr. Library, there is also a Faculty Research Commons and faculty can apply to use one of the research study rooms for an entire semester. These private rooms are located throughout the bookstacks.
Visualization spaces
The NC State University Libraries provides spaces for high-definition visualization, simulations, ideation, and innovation. These spaces accommodate various projection and display configurations; real-time video capture, broadcast, and collaboration, and offer new ways to approach public engagement with research. Dedicated videoconferencing spaces are available at the Hunt and Veterinary Medicine Libraries.
