Formerly known as University Graphics, this building is located on Sullivan
Drive across the parking lot from Administrative Services II. It is presently
occupied by University Graphics only. Following a renovation project in 2004-05,
Transportation and Purchasing will move to the building. The renovation project
will provide a separate entrance and a "street presence" for Transportation
for the benefit of its customers.
This building along with Administrative Services II and III is part of the George
Worsley Administrative Services Complex. It is named for Mr. George Worsley,
vice chancellor for finance and business for more than 28 years, who is retiring
on July 31, 2004 after 41 total years of service to the university. When Chancellor
Marye Anne Fox announced Mr. Worsley's retirement in February 2004, she hailed
his record of steady stewardship of the university's budget and praised his
contributions to the institution's growth and its rise to national prominence.
Among his achievements, Worsley negotiated an agreement for the university's
role in the development of the Entertainment and Sports Arena (now the RBC Center),
home to the men's basketball team and the Carolina Hurricanes, the professional
hockey team. He was a key advisor in the 15-year development of Centennial Campus,
and oversaw its transition from 1,000 acres of undeveloped land to its current
status as a successful technology park with numerous academic, government and
business partners.
The NC State Alumni Association recognized Worsley in 2003 with the Honorary
Alumnus Award, citing his faithful participation in the life of the university.
In 2002, Worsley received the Distinguished Business Officer of the Year award
from the National Association of College and University Business Officers (NACUBO),
an honor recognizing outstanding achievement in business and financial management
in higher education.
