Welcome to Main Campus

Student life thrives here.

Students spend the majority of their time on main campus which features a variety of residence halls, dining halls and classroom buildings.

By touring through Main Campus, you’ll walk the same path the first class of NC State did in 1887. The tradition began on this campus – from the Memorial Belltower to Reynolds Coliseum.

Architecture Virtual Tour

Take a virtual tour of NC State College of Design, School of Architecture facilities.

The College’s facilities are designed to encourage the very best work. Our labs, studios, and library are professionally staffed to support student work and faculty instruction. The College offers galleries and critique spaces in hopes of encouraging an open exchange of ideas. Auditoriums and large classrooms allow the college to host an ambitious visiting lecture and exhibition program to supplement daily instruction.

Got Questions?

Professor of Architecture, Director of Graduate Program in Architecture

All 850-plus students enrolled in studio programs within the college have dedicated studio space with 24-hour access and security. Every workstation is networked and students have additional access to three 18-seat labs, printing and scanning facilities, and departmental computer clusters. All labs are professionally staffed to allow you to focus on your work, not on tech problems.

Burns Auditorium

The Robert Paschal Burns Auditorium is a 175-seat auditorium which pays homage to the late Professor Emeritus Robert P. Burns, FAIA, who taught for more than 40 years at the College. Burns Auditorium is a multi-purpose space for college and visiting lecturers, presentations, movie screenings, and many other special events.

Brooks Hall Gallery

Brooks Hall Gallery provides space and wall surfaces for a visual presentation of the full scope of design activities. All exhibitions are publicized to encourage public attendance. The Gallery is located outside of the Design Library; the Brooks Hall reception area; the IT Lab; and in close proximity to Student Services.

Carol Grotnes Belk Rotunda

The Rotunda is the principal review space and jury room in the College of Design. It is located in the octagonal, domed space in the original part of Brooks Hall with museum-quality presentation and lighting installations. In addition to reviews and critiques, the Rotunda also serves as an attractive setting for special exhibitions, receptions, lectures, and collaborative working sessions.

Harry B. Gilbert Gallery

Surrounding the Belk Rotunda, the Gilbert Gallery provides well-lighted space for reviews of student projects and for exhibitions.

S. Aaron Allred Gallery

The exhibition, lectures, and reception space was renovated in 2007 and named for S. Aaron Allred, a supporting alum of the College. The gallery leads into the Robert Paschal Burns Auditorium.

Red is definitely your color.

Watch the fireworks at Packapalooza

Cap off the festivities of Wolfpack Welcome Week with Packapalooza™ , NC State’s all-day block party and street festival. It’s been a fan-favorite event for over a decade, and you’ll want to stay for the grand finale: a live concert and dazzling firework display over the Memorial Belltower.

Join a student organization (or start your own)

We’ve got more than 600 of them. Choose from beekeeping, bluegrass, biochemistry or nearly anything else.

Eat at all of the campus dining halls

We’re behind you

And let your colors wave,

Shout out for dear old NC State

(Go State!)

For where e’er we go,

We will let the whole world know,

Red and White Song

We’re the Red and White from State

And we know we are the best.

A hand behind our back,

We can take on all the rest.

Come over the hill, Caroline.

Devils and Deacs stand in line.

The Red and White from N.C. State.

Where the Southern winds so softly blow

O’er the fields of Caroline,

There stands ever cherished, N.C. State,

As thy honored shrine

So lift your voices! Loudly sing,

From hill to ocean side!

Our hearts ever hold you, N.C. State —

In the folds

Of our love and pride.

Go to your professor’s office hours

Their doors are open. Stop by for some academic help or to delve deeper into the subjects that drive you.

Whisper in the Wolf Ears

It’s only fitting that one of our iconic campus landmarks shows physics in action. Grab a friend and head near the Brickyard to check out our Wolf Ears. The two structures are situated many yards apart, but your messages will travel from one “ear” to the other, loud and clear.

The Class of 2024, by the Numbers 

David MacMillan, Nobel Prize Winner in Chemistry, Will Address Spring 2024 Graduates 

Final Fours: Join the Wolfpack for an Unforgettable Weekend 

Preview: 5 top issues to watch during North Carolina’s legislative short session

The short session begins on april 24 and is projected to last until early july.

North Carolina’s legislators will soon be flooding into the state’s capital city for their short session, which will begin on April 24 and is projected to last through July.  

During odd years, the General Assembly meets for a full regular session, whereas in even numbered years, they meet for a shorter session.  

Although the budget has not yet been solidified and there are no set-in-stone orders of business, a spokesperson for Senate Leader Phil Berger (R-Guilford, Rockingham) said the session will “primarily focus on making any necessary adjustments to the two-year state budget passed last year.”  

They could also take up the issues of immigration, video lottery terminals and education. The jury is still out on whether any abortion-related legislation will make it to the floor this spring and summer.  

Being that it is an election year, legislation may be affected, said House Democratic Leader Robert Reives (D-Chatham, Randolph).  

“I think the elections always affect what is done in the short session, unfortunately,” Reives said. “The needs of the people don’t change, but the needs of those who want to get elected do sometimes.” 

Here’s a breakdown of what to look out for this session.  

1. Education

Speaker Tim Moore (R-Cleveland, Rutherford) said an increase in funding for the Opportunity Scholarship is likely to happen. This year, around 72,000 North Carolinians applied, a number the program was unable to fully fund. To bridge this gap, they would need about a $300 million increase. 

Moore said he is unsure if the entirety of that request will be fulfilled, but that the number of applicants this year has shown the demand for it. 

Some Democratic legislators are worried that increasing funding for private school vouchers will leave a teacher pay raise on the wayside. Moore disagreed, saying “I think there’s still money there to make sure we take care of our teachers.” 

He also noted that an expansion of childcare funding is a priority.  

Also on the education front, there is talk about defunding Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs. This would primarily be an issue at the university level.  

“There’s no big push to immediately do something,” Moore said, hinting that this issue may take more time to flesh out.

More: North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper is on a mission to promote public schools. Here’s why

2. Immigration

Immigration has become a hot topic this election season with both Joe Biden and Donald Trump making trips to the border. And although North Carolina is not a border state, the General Assembly is looking at enforcing some new immigration-related legislation. 

For example, House Bill 10 , which has passed in the House and would require police officers to cooperate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), could make its way to the Senate this session.  

Many Democratic legislators in the minority party expressed disappointment that immigration will take center stage this session.  

3. Video Lottery Terminals

With a recent decrease in corporate taxes, Democratic legislators are concerned about the potential revenue gap that could erupt in the coming years.  

“We’ve cut taxes the last several budgets, with plans on continuing to cut personal income taxes and then phasing out the corporate income tax by the end of the decade,” said Rep. Charles Smith (D-Cumberland). "What type of revenue are we going to be looking at moving forward when we don't have those federal dollars?” 

Video lottery terminals could be a way to fill that gap.  

But Moore insisted that legislation made about video lottery terminals, and similar things, should go through a normal committee process.  

"The big complaint last year that folks had with the gaming legislation was the way it was just kind of being jammed in with not much discussion,” Moore said. “And frankly, I think those criticisms were fair. I didn’t like that process.” 

4. Abortion

It's still unclear whether further abortion legislation will come up this spring and summer. Some say pushing for a tighter ban during an election year could be risky; others say the Republican party has the numbers to make it happen.  

In May 2023, the General Assembly passed a 12-week abortion ban after bypassing the governor’s veto. Some Republicans hope to keep tightening the ban over time.

In remarks to journalists, Moore said it’s unlikely that this would happen in the short session.  

5. Medical Marijuana

In the last session, Senate Bill 3, sponsored by Sen. Bill Rabon (R-Brunswick), passed the Senate, but was not taken up by the House. It is unclear whether this bill will resurface, but Democratic Sen. Julie Mayfield (D-Buncombe) said she hopes it does.

From the minority

Rep. Lindsey Prather (D-Buncombe) said she wishes the General Assembly was taking up issues that affected constituents' day-to-day life. Similar sentiments were echoed by several other Democratic legislators.  

"I would rather be talking about, you know, how to protect the environment,” Prather said. “I would rather be talking about how to get the word out to people and help people sign up for Medicaid expansion. I would rather be working with community colleges on workforce training programs instead of talking about VLTs (video lottery terminals) and abortion.”
