In the Name of Freedom: Freedom Park, designed by late alumnus Phil Freelon, is expected to open in 2022.
The park honors the voices and experiences of African Americans in North Carolina’s history while celebrating the importance of freedom to all people no matter their background. It will take shape on an acre of land at the corner of Wilmington and Lane streets, not far from the General Assembly building.
When the park opens, visitors will be able to explore five pathways lined with walls bearing quotes from notable figures such as author and slave Harriet Jacobs and activist Pauli Murray.
A tall monument called the Beacon of Freedom will stand at the intersection of the pathways. Seating areas will be scattered throughout the park, and there are plans for a grassy area where people can gather. An online-based curriculum, developed in partnership with the Department of Public Instruction, will help teachers integrate school trips to the park into lesson plans.

Our Industrial Design program is getting a home!
Over the past 40 years, the program at NC State has grown into one of the highest-ranked ID programs in the U.S. Its graduates go on to be designers at companies like IBM, Adidas, and Under Armour.
With the help of alumni-owned architecture firm @tonic_design, the program will be renovating and moving into a 15,000 square foot space, occupying the entire first floor of the well-constructed, light-filled building located at 111 Lampe Drive.
Once complete, Industrial Design will have dedicated access to undergraduate and graduate studios, a conference room, critique room, classroom, maker space, computer lab, research lab, faculty offices, computer classroom, and a common space.
Learn more about the new space at the link in our bio!

Still making it.
While students are designing from home, Professor Megan Bostic is using one of the laser cutting machines to fabricate specialized pieces for students in her course, ADN 276 - Soft Construction.
This piece, designed by student Emma Anderson, involves cutting hand-painted nonwoven materials for the guest artist workshop "Abstract Mapping" with Professor Valerie Goodwin from Florida A&M University.
