This feasibility study completed advanced planning to envision a future for UNC's Convergent Science Complex as a center for innovation intended to accelerate the translational impact of the University’s research programs. The building will include the new Institute for Convergent Science, the Applied Physical Sciences Department, and the Psychology and Neuroscience Departments, and will aim to break traditional boundaries between disciplines. The building is organized as a gateway between the main academic campus and the health sciences corridor. An entrance at the corner of South Road and South Columbia street leads into a main atrium where the heart of the building is visible to all who pass through on their route into the main campus
