UNC set to build new dorm, considering increase in undergraduate student enrollment


The UNC Board of Trustees approved $8 million Jan. 23 for the construction of a 600-bed residence hall on campus. The board’s agenda described the project as the first in “a decade-long plan to expand and renew Carolina’s student housing portfolio.” Carolina is considering adding 5,000 more undergraduates over the next 10 years.
