Project Overview
The transformation from Greek Court to Greek Village is underway. Alumni
house corporations will be able to lease lots in Greek Village on which they
will design, construct, own, and operate new chapter houses. This project
will replace aging infrastructure and provide new amenities for the NC State
Greek community.
A total of 20 building lots will be available in a phased plan
that will remove existing University-owned houses. Each ground lease will be
for 40 years, with an additional 40-year renewal option. The four
lots in Phase 1 have been committed to Sigma Nu, Sigma Phi Epsilon, Chi Psi,
and Kappa Sigma. Other groups continue to express interest and plan to build
in future phases.
The Greek Village plan has garnered tremendous support among
students, alumni/ae, University administration, and members of the Raleigh
community. The Greek Village Development Team of alumni/ae, University staff,
and consultants, meets regularly to guide development of the Village. A Greek
Housing Association, comprised of representatives from the groups in Greek
Village, will be formed to provide ongoing oversight of the Village.
Infrastructure
construction for Phase 1 has begun, and building lots will be
available for house construction in the fall. We anticipate the first houses
opening in late 2009 and early 2010. The lots for Phase 1 are in the general
area of the original Pi Kappa Alpha and Sigma Nu houses.
