North Carolina is going forward with long-discussed plans to develop an off-campus expansion for academic, research, residential and mixed-use retail projects.

Carolina’s new satellite campus will focus on AI, health and advanced technology research and also include housing and shops.

North Carolina universities expand physician, nursing programs to tackle workforce shortages and improve regional healthcare access starting in 2025.

Carolina North, a university-owned property about two miles north of the University of North Carolina's flagship Chapel Hill campus, would include housing, academic buildings and - maybe - a new basketball arena by the end of the decade.
