Ayers Saint Gross of Baltimore is the leading candidate to design the Carolina North satellite campus. They’ve done work for Emory, Rice, Ohio State and the National Aquarium, and will negotiate fees with UNC to design the former Horace Williams Airport property (230 acres) near MLK Blvd. and Estes intersection for the new campus.
