and South campuses, this is

meals and attend many of their
classes. They gather at the
iconic Brickyard, lounge on the
peaceful green grounds of the
Court of North Carolina and work
out at Carmichael Gymnasium.
They congregate at the 115-foot
Belltower after big NC State sports
victories and browse the millions of
books found in the nine-story D.H.
Hill Library.
Centennial Campus
This public-private research park
houses more than 70 NC State
research and academic units, along
with more than 60 corporate,
government and nonprofit partners.

view of their favorite NC State athletic events.

games since it was built in 1966. The stadium and its
surrounding acres of open fields invite a multitude of
pregame student and alum tailgaters.

PNC Arena’s 19,700 red seats, wide concourses and state-
of-the-art HD scoreboard provide a premier home for NC

seating, students won’t miss a minute of the action.

women’s volleyball and wrestling teams all compete in the

first victory in 1949, Reynolds has provided a home-court
advantage for its athletes.

statewide flea market and tons of boutiques, high-end
fashion stores and consignment shops, Raleigh has

area eateries can satisfy any appetite. You can also enjoy

our many farmers’ markets or our famous North Carolina

the Red Hat Amphitheater. The North Carolina Museum
