Named for Elizabeth Scott Carrington, a nurse and philanthropist, Carrington Hall has served as the home for the University of North Carolina’s School of Nursing since 1969. Faced with an aging building and the growing demands of an evolving nursing pedagogy, UNC engaged Ayers Saint Gross and Little Diversified Consulting to imagine a comprehensive renovation and addition to Carrington Hall.

Located within the prominent health science precinct with the schools of medicine, pharmacy, public health, and dentistry, the renewal of Carrington Hall represents an ideal opportunity to facilitate collaboration and convergence between the existing health science community, the School of Nursing, and the rest of campus. The site frames a new front yard for the school and a shared outdoor collaboration area between Bondurant Hall and the new Medical Education Building, providing ample space for outdoor learning sessions, gatherings, and events.

The final design seamlessly connects the existing hall and the addition, utilizing its setback to create an iconic entry sequence. Organized around the guiding themes of UNC’s Strategic Plan – Connect, Hub, and Welcome – the building’s program is designed to increase user flexibility. Programmed spaces include EISLE (Education Innovation Simulation Learning Environment), research, classrooms, offices, support spaces, and ample student and common space.
