Oscar R. Sampson Building
UNC Pembroke

In a ceremony held July 16, 2007, UNC Pembroke dedicated its first new classroom building in 27 years to one of its original students and a 32-year member of the Board of Trustees.  The new Oscar R. Sampson Building houses the departments of Psychology and Counseling, Criminal Justice, and Sociology.

The 35,000-sf, two-story facility includes classroom, lecture, and laboratory facilities along with faculty office and administration spaces.

Jenkins•Peer incorporated passive solar design strategies including the use of sun screens, fenestration placement, and building orientation.  This energy-efficient design was achieved at no additional cost to the University.
