Study All Night at New Learning & Research Center

round was broken on a 24/7 Collaborative Learning and Research Center on Nov. 21, 2023. Located on the northwest corner of Fayetteville and Lawson streets, the center will include multipurpose rooms, study areas, retail and event space.

A flexible design allows the interior to be converted into individual or smaller learning spaces. An open, collaborative lounge will flow into an outdoor plaza along Fayetteville Street.

The 5,000 square-foot building was designed by Evoke Studio Architecture of Durham, North Carolina. Its budget is $7.2 million. The new building will be open 24 hours a day.

The project was featured in Architect Magazine. Upon completion, which is scheduled for mid-October 2024 NCCU will have a presence on all four corners of the historic intersection of Fayetteville and Lawson streets.
