Bolton & Menk partnered with NCSU and the design team to renovate and expand the Talley Student Center, a prominent building on the main campus. The project creates a new era for NCSU by honoring the campus's history while incorporating modern elements. The landscape design focuses on pedestrian connectivity and provides gathering areas and a spacious green space for events, dining, and socializing. The building features green roofs, rainwater recycling, and sustainable plantings, reducing runoff and providing insulation.
