Hillsborough St. entrance and lobby
Our recent renovation project includes the reopening of the Hillsborough Street entrance—a change that was much celebrated by our campus community. Leading up to the building, you’ll find gorgeous landscaping, convenient access to bus stops, and plenty of bike storage. Inside the sleek new sliding doors is a lobby equipped with new turnstiles and a security desk. For first-time visitors to campus, this entrance is just steps away from all Hillsborough Street has to offer!
