I ordered the t-shirt already. #whynotus BTW, I wonder if DJ Horne is making coin off of that slogan since it’s his quote? ---

And they both won with the same score! (76) And to think, (getting a little ahead of myself here), they could both win the same year!! ---

In 2017 S. Carolina had both of the Men’s and Women’s team sin the final four. The Women won it all and then men lost the first game. I’ll pull for the NCState Men’s team. But for the women I need to go with S. Carolina. ---

7-story, 324-unit, 812-bed apartment building at Varsity Dr - Avent Ferry corner across from entrance to Centennial Campus. Seems like some good density to bridge the area between the two campuses. No retail but ground floor and rooftop amenity spaces. Seems close enough to Mission Valley for the retail needs though. > **[ASR-0023-2024.pdf](https://cityofraleigh0drupal.blob.core.usgovcloudapi.net/drupal-prod/COR15/ASR-0023-2024.pdf)** > > 54.52 MB ---

Not the first time a development has been proposed here. Last time it was shot down by the neighborhood. I think the city and the university underestimate the importance of the Avent Ferry/Varsity intersection as the _actual_ main entrance of centennial campus. Oval Drive & Centennial is like the ceremonial front door but it’s far less important in terms of actual use and the integration of the campus with the city. This intersection is the place where Centennial Campus meets the city. There is a tremendous amount of foot traffic crossing the street here while school is in session. An enormous number of buses pass through this intersection (five routes across GoRaleigh and Wolfline, adding up to 30 or 40 per hour?) - many of them quite packed! The intersection sits within the densest census tract in the entire city, and the _only_ tract over 10,000 people per square mile! There’s clearly an opportunity here for a lively transition from the institutional uses on campus to private uses on the outside. This corner should be like the Hillsborough Street of Centennial! Yet the comprehensive plan does not call for retail, and NCSU’s master plan calls for the three corners of the intersection owned by the university to be flanked by trees and single-story semi-industrial “flex space”. Sigh. ---

> **[Topping out](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topping_out)** > > In building construction, topping out (sometimes referred to as topping off) is a builders' rite traditionally held when the last beam (or its equivalent) is placed atop a structure during its construction. Nowadays, the ceremony is often parlayed into a media event for public relations purposes. It has since come to mean more generally finishing the structure of the building, whether there is a ceremony or not. It is also commonly used to determine the amount of wind on the top of the struct Th... ---

Would be cool if this spurred a downtown building like how UNC Charlotte has with their Center City building that could even house some Design School and Economics School spaces? Imagine a rooftop space for University fundraiser / functions as well. Could partner with Shaw or Wake Tech for some of the space too? There’s even this lot owned by the State (and still on Hillsborough Street) that would fit that UNCC building exactly. ![image](https://d3tmycllq5yp1y.cloudfront.net/original/3X/c/6/c6840729197ca82b9b59a72ea81b66883a7f117c.jpeg) ---

Jeff Bezos’ Earth Fund is giving NC State a $30m grant to start the Bezos Center for Sustainable Protein. The focus is on making a biomanufacturing hub for dietary proteins that are environmentally friendly, healthy and affordable.
