Innovate Carolina Junction creates a new hub for innovation and collaboration in downtown Chapel Hill, adjacent to the University of North Carolina campus. The Junction creates an open, light-filled collaborative environment from the ground floor and partial basement of a 1970s-era commercial office building. It’s the first step in the creation of the new Rosemary Street Innovation District, which will include new office, lab, retail, housing, and parking uses—and will attract much-needed new employment opportunities for the leaders of businesses and research initiatives who want to be located in Chapel Hill.
