UNC’s Bell Tower Development succeeds in leveraging a disparate design program to meet several critical objectives of the UNC Campus Master Plan. By conceptualizing these projects as a unified whole, the SOM proposal was able to transform UNC’s central, but under-utilized Bell Tower campus into an exciting, activity-rich central agora.
The program includes a new Genome Science Laboratory, a renovated campus chiller plant, an elevated pedestrian walkway, and a multi-story parking garage. The laboratory is highly sustainable, featuring a green roof, high-performance glazing, and the use of special concrete for high thermal efficiency.Project Facts
