The UNC Hussman School of Journalism and Media dedicated its new building this week. The Curtis Media Center is a flexible learning space including a broadcast studio, podcast studio, makerspace and classrooms.
The new building comes from a $10 million gift from the Curtis Foundation to UNC in 2018. The media center, named after North Carolina media mogul Don Curtis, has been under construction since before the coronavirus pandemic. It’s the first new building near Polk Place in more than a decade.
In the former site of what was the old Phillips Annex building, stands the three story and nearly 13,000 square foot Curtis Media Center with large glass windows.
Glass windows display the media center’s first floor broadcast studio. (Ava Pukatch / Chapelboro.com)
