Campus and Community Vibrancy
Together, we can enrich the campus experience,
strengthen community ties and foster cultural vibrancy.
UNC Charlotte is woven into the heart of Charlotte, enhancing the city’s vibrancy through athletics, arts and innovation. As our city grows, so do the opportunities for students to engage in meaningful experiences that drive Charlotte’s cultural, civic and industrial development. Our commitment to building community extends beyond campus, fostering connections and contributions that enrich lives and energize the region.
Campus & Community Vibrancy
A vibrant campus is essential to a thriving student experience and a strong community. With your help, we can enhance our campus spaces, foster a sense of belonging and strengthen connections between the university and the Charlotte region.
For Athletics & Stadium Enhancements
The Charlotte 49ers embody our pride and spirit. Our move to the American Athletic Conference marked a transformative moment for the University, our fans and our city. Sustained success depends on enhancing our athletic facilities, including:
• Expansion of Jerry Richardson Stadium
• Addition of the Robert & Mariam Hayes Stadium Clubhouse
• New Soccer and Lacrosse Stadium
• Renovations to the Men’s & Women’s Basketball Locker Rooms
For Community Enrichment
UNC Charlotte is a vital part of Charlotte’s cultural landscape, enriching the city through hundreds of exhibitions, performances and programs each year. From galleries and theater performances to public art installations and musical showcases, the University’s contributions add vibrancy to the community. Partnerships with local organizations deepen this impact, embedding UNC Charlotte in the cultural fabric of Charlotte and offering students unique opportunities to engage with and shape the city’s artistic identity.
