Fitzpatrick Center

Fitzpatrick Center is a research facility in North Carolina with multiple floors containing laboratories, meeting rooms, and learning spaces. The building uses extensive windows and glass surfaces to bring natural light throughout, and offers flexible workspaces that support different types of academic activities.

The facility was built in 2004 by ZGF Architects and set a new standard for research buildings in the region. The architects designed the building with the idea that it could adapt to future changes in research and technology.

The center encourages researchers and students from different fields to work side by side in shared spaces designed for teamwork. These areas naturally bring people together, fostering conversation and collaboration across academic disciplines.

The building is equipped with modern laboratory facilities and advanced technology systems that support various research needs. Visitors should take time to explore the thoughtfully organized spaces that accommodate different working styles and requirements.

The building was constructed using sustainable materials and methods that lower its energy use and reduce environmental impact. The modular interior setup allows the room layout to be quickly rearranged when research priorities or technologies change.
