Chapel Hill, N.C.
The University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill is planning to develop a 1,000-acre site as a satellite campus. The mixed-use development will contain commercial, research and institutional space as well as housing for faculty, staff, and students. Accommodating 25,000 employees and housing up to 3,000, the project will feature additional facilities for research in genomics and bioinformatics. Originally designed by Ann Arbor-based Johnson, Johnson and Roy, plans for the campus will be updated by architectural firm Ayers Saint Gross of Baltimore. The 8 million-sf development is scheduled to begin in 2006 and take at least 25 years to complete.
