The Onboarding Center is hosting free on-campus tours so employees can learn about campus landmarks and the history of NC State. Whether you’re a new employee or a longtime member of the Pack, please consider registering for one or more of the tours, and encourage your colleagues to do the same.
Reynolds Coliseum Tour
Reynolds Coliseum is one of the most iconic buildings on campus. The coliseum was once considered one of the toughest places to play in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Tom Stafford, retired vice chancellor for student affairs, will lead tours of the historic building from 10:30 a.m. to noon on Oct. 27 and from 9 to 10:30 a.m. on Nov. 3 Space on the tour is limited, so reserve your spot as soon as possible. The tour group will meet in front of Reynolds on Dunn Avenue.
Each tour has its own registration form. Click a registration link below to sign up for the tour that you would like to attend.
Belltower Tour
Stafford also will guide two special tours of the Memorial Belltower at Henry Square. The tours will be from 10:30 am to noon on Oct. 25 and Nov. 9.
The Belltower honors the sacrifice of NC State alumni who lost their lives in World War I. It has become a symbol of inspiration to the Wolfpack community. Powered by a lead gift from the Bill and Frances Henry family to the university’s Think and Do the Extraordinary campaign, the Belltower underwent an amazing restoration project that included adding 55 bells to the carillon. Space on the tour is limited, so reserve your spot as soon as possible. The tour group will meet at the front of Holladay Hall, facing Pullen Road.

North Campus Walking Tour
A guided walking tour of NC State’s North Campus is planned for Oct. 12 from 8:30 to 10 a.m.
North Campus, which is sometimes referred to as “original campus,” includes many of the first academic buildings built at NC State. That part of campus is north of the railroad tracks that run along Yarbrough Drive.
The 1.5-mile walking tours will begin outside Talley Student Union in front of the Starbucks on Cates Avenue. The tours will highlight some of NC State’s history and iconic landmarks, including Reynolds Coliseum, University Plaza, which is known as the Brickyard, and the Court of North Carolina.
