The Brickyard (North Carolina State University)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

University Plaza, or more commonly The Brickyard, is a public plaza at the heart of North Carolina State University's North Campus. The plaza is mostly covered with red and white bricks which have been organized into various decorative shapes. There are two main green areas on the plaza, one on the east side and one on the west. The east green area features two concrete chairs which amplify sound waves so that someone sitting in one chair can easily hear the person in the other chair from a far distance. Harrelson Hall, a cylindrical classroom building is situated on the southeast corner of the plaza; D.H. Hill Library is located on the north side of the Brickyard.

Many university-sponsored events take place on the Brickyard, including the annual Habitat for Humanity Shack-a-thon. Even the Stanley Cup made an apperance on the plaza on December 4, 2006.
