| Before the Awards Ceremony, come learn about the strategies for design excellence that formed the new NC DHHS Headquarters, with a Site Tour.
In 2015, the NC Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) began plans to relocate their offices to a new campus and consolidate all administrative staff in the Greater Triangle area. The result is a visionary “urban park” master plan to consolidate over 5,000 DHHS administrative staff within a 34-acre complex on Blue Ridge Road, across from the NC Museum of Art. This vision includes over 750,000 square feet of space, to be constructed in two phases, with a mixed-use development planned for later. Phase 1, featuring a 460,000 SF office tower, a central utility plant, and a parking deck with over 1,000 spaces, is underway and set to be operational by summer 2025. Tour leaders from LS3P and the Construction Management tri-venture team (Barnhill / Balfour Beatty / D.A. Everett) will describe a collaborative development process to create a campus that emphasizes health, well-being, and productivity. This new campus reflects DHHS’s commitment to stewardship and community engagement and is expected to foster civic synergy and become an integral part of the community. The tour begins at 5:00p with 1 HSW CEU. PPE is not required to participate in the tour. |

Parking information
If you’re attending the NC DHHS Headquarters project building tour, free parking is available in the newly built parking deck on Human Services Lane off Reedy Creek Rd. The project site is directly across the street from the NCMA on Blue Ridge Road. The meeting point for the building tour will be on the lower level of the parking deck. We kindly ask you to plan to arrive on site slightly before the start of the tour to give yourself time to find the meeting point considering the size of the project site. If you park in the parking deck and are planning to attend the Design Awards event after the building tour, please note that you will need move your car and park at the NCMA for the duration of the event.
