News Brief: District fights dorm

Mar 13, 2008 News Jump to Comments

UNC’s Wesley Foundation was criticized when it unveiled plans to build a 70,000-square-foot five-story Methodist dorm where its current building stands now on Pittsboro Street. Residents of the Cameron-McCauley historic district opposed the move to a bigger building. The current building is only 17,000 square feet now.

Alternative plans were presented Monday and suggested either a smaller, four-story building or a property swap with the Office of Undergraduate Education and academic advising offices at 223 E. Franklin St. — which would then be bulldozed and replaced with either the five- or four-story building.
