Fayeteville State University is in the process of constructing a new $10 million building which will be located on east campus near the Charles W. Chesnutt Library. When completed in 2009 this modern 3 story building will house both instructional and research facilities including 11 classrooms, 3 labs of 36 bed, and a computer lab. In addition there will be 36 offices, 3 conference spaces, as well a smaller break out rooms and student lounge areas.
Fayetteville State University is no stranger to exploring new construction projects and having gone to the college myself, I would say has a spirit and genuine interest in growing to service the student, not just to become a bigger campus.
Some other construction projects in past years has been the Fayetteville State University, University Place Apartments. This 8 million dollar, 322 bed project completed in 02' the apartments addressed the housing crunch brought about by increased enrollments, and also serves as a great recruiting tool.
Each apartment contains four private bedrooms with a private bath, a kitchen and dining area, a spacious living area, large windows and a washer/dryer closet. All apartments are furnished, and specific units are ADA-accessible. The complex also features a clubhouse with amenities (student lounge, foundation and property-management offices) and a central laundry facility.
Perhaps my favorite building on campus is the new Seabrook Auditorium...if you had seen the old one you would really appreciate this gorgeous new building.
This new $7 million dollar gem replaced the old auditorium which had been at FSU since the 50's. The old stage house was completely demolished and replaced with a lobby, ticket office, and covered entrance. A historic campus gate has also been incorporated into the design. Only the auditorium shell and balcony structure were retained. All existing building systems were replaced and a new sound, lighting, and sprinkler systems were added. The two-story glass and steel lobby connects the auditorium to the campus and acts as a vibrant addition to the campus at night.
