Dean Smith mural on building set for demolition, Chapel Hill artist hopes to find new space
Posted Mar 26, 2025
For a decade, the mural at the corner of Smith Level Road and U.S. 15-501 in Chapel Hill has become a beloved symbol of UNC basketball and the legendary coach behind it, Dean Smith. "I was a big admirer of his," creator Scott Nurkin said. But now, the mural's future hangs in limbo as the building will be demolished to make way for a convenience store.
