Campus Facilities

The neo-Georgian building style and beautiful landscaping throughout campus make UNCW one of the most attractive campuses in the South.

The campus has experienced dramatic change since 2002 as a result of the N.C. Higher Education Facilities Bond issue, a privatized housing initiative and other in-house funding mechanisms. More than $508 million dollars in funding for major capital projects have resulted in 30 new or renovated buildings for academics, housing, athletics and campus life.

The newest buildings on campus include McNeill School of Nursing, the Seahawk Crossing student residence facility, the campus’ first parking garage and a shellfish research hatchery at the Center for Marine Science.

• Ground was broken in 2010 for a teaching laboratory building for the psychology department and a new marine biotechnology building at the Center for Marine Science.
• The Student Recreation Center which opened in 2000 is being expanded to nearly double its current size and will include a new natatorium. Construction is expected to be completed by July 2012 and is funded by student fees.
• Wagoner Dining Hall is being renovated to increase seating capacity, new culinary stations and an expanded Chef's Table.
• The 70,536-square-foot Fisher Student Center opened in 2006 and is connected to the renovated Fisher University Union and the Burney Center by a covered colonnade. The $31 million construction and renovation project was funded by student fees.
• Warwick Center was renovated and now houses the financial aid office, student accounts and parking and transportation.

It supports research in oceanography, coastal and wetland studies, marine biomedical and environmental physiology, marine biotechnology and aquaculture, and marine geology.
