Think And Do

The James B. Hunt, Jr. Library is more than the 21st-century
face of NC State.

It’s a place where ideas become reality and bold ambition forges beautiful solutions to global challenges.

Find Inspiration

We think North Carolina should have an innovative space where ideas become reality. So we built it: a library where everything from the lighting to the architecture inspires people to explore and excel.

Immerse Yourself

The Hunt Library’s immersive technology puts Navy ROTC midshipmen at the controls of simulated submarines, destroyers and aircraft carriers.

Create Reality

NC State traffic researchers came to the Hunt Library with a problem: How do you help blind pedestrians navigate a hectic roundabout? In a matter of days, they used a 3-D printer to build a solution — a tactile map that can teach the visually impaired to cross safely.

Join Together

At this library, talking is allowed — and encouraged. The Hunt Library has tools designed to facilitate collaboration across distances and disciplines.

Change the World

Today’s ideas yield tomorrow’s solutions. With high-tech tools, immersive spaces and an environment that fosters collaboration, the Hunt Library helps students, faculty and research partners create those solutions.
