The NCSU Libraries' Master Plan for Facilities

The Libraries' Master Plan for facilities, which addresses space issues over the next 20 years, was completed and approved in 2002/2003 with input from students and faculty. It calls for renovating the East Wing of the D. H. Hill Library (Phase I); building the James B. Hunt Jr. Library on Centennial Campus (Phase II); demolishing and rebuilding the West (Erdahl-Cloyd) Wing of the D. H. Hill Library (Phase III); and adding onto the Centennial Campus library (Phase IV).

Phase I, the East Wing renovation was completed in early 2007. Funded by $9.2 million in 2000 Higher Education Bond monies and private donations, the project reclaimed approximately 20,000 square feet of former staff workspace to create a technology-rich Learning Commons and a new Special Collections Research Center including a reading room, exhibit gallery, and conservatory.

Phase II, planning and construction of the James B. Hunt Jr. Library on Centennial Campus, is currently underway.
