Project Description:
The Center for Digital Engineering project is a planned facility to be located within a 8,812 square foot
building located at 528 N. Brevard Street, Charlotte, NC 28202, directly across from the Dubois Center.
This project will serve as a unique facility for cybersecurity, digital engineering and AI datacenter
testing. Depending on available funding and costs, the vision could be completed all at once or in phases.
Existing building systems are planned to be used such as HVAC units, electrical service, and bathrooms
to remain. The project will provide new finishes and interior build out upgrades to create classrooms,
labs, a conference room and office spaces. The University has previously engaged Clark Nexsen
Architects in an advanced visioning, programming and conceptual design exercise for this project
previous to this advertisement for Design Services.
