The Dynamic Decade tells the story of the sweeping makeover
of the 200-year-old campus of the University of North Carolina at
Chapel Hill. Six million square feet of buildings were constructed
and a million square feet of historic buildings were renovated
during one vibrant ten-year period. This massive growth required
bold thinking and a vision for combining historic preservation,
green building, and long-range development. A statewide bond issue,
award-winning designs, and unprecedented coordination between town
and university made the vision a reality.
Written by authors who held major planning roles, supplemented by
interviews of key players, and lavishly illustrated with color
photographs and maps, this comprehensive account offers valuable
lessons to all concerned with sustainable university growth.
