Pre-Design Awards Tour and Q&A – NC Department of Health and Human Services

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.
