There’s some great archival footage in here of the Brickyard, the Bell Tower, Homecoming and the Court of North Carolina. If there are any alumni out there with this kind of film of NC State, drop me an e-mail at chris_richter@ncsu.edu. We’d love to see what you’ve got.

NC State will break ground on the new James B. Hunt Jr. Library today as it celebrates the 25th anniversary of Centennial Campus. The N&O has a front-page story on the history and evolution of Centennial Campus.
The campus is revered elsewhere in the world, but many locals aren’t aware of what it has become, said Tom Rabon, an executive vice president of Red Hat, the software company with headquarters on Centennial. About three years ago Rabon was invited to Toulouse, France, to talk about the place his company had picked for its headquarters.
“The French government paid me to come over and talk about nothing but Centennial Campus because they wanted to emulate exactly what we have,” he said. “People in Raleigh drive past every day and just have no idea what’s behind that line of trees on I-40, and no idea that Centennial Campus is the envy of the world.”
The 200,000-square-foot Hunt Library will include impressive features such an automated retrieval system. Check out a video of the system and see a virtual exhibit of the library. It’ll open in 2012 or 2013.

Roger Winstead ’87, who’s a regular contributor to NC State magazine and is NC State Creative Services’ director of photography, has started a photo blog, PackPix. He captured the above image of the Bell Tower (actually six photos “stitched together”) in May, after it was struck by lightning. He explains:
A bolt tagged the top of the tower, sending a huge chuck of granite earthward and facilities had to fix it asap. With the use of two huge cranes, workers repaired the damage and even had a little time to give me a ride to the top (with a little coaxing from Charlie [Leffler]). I rode up with them the day after the storm to shoot the damage and the work being done. That was a seriously windy day that had the bucket swinging big-time. Not a place to be for the timid, fear-of-heights kind of person.
