- Designed by two award-winning architects, the
Walter Royal Davis Library is the largest educational
building in North Carolina.
This $22.9 million library, which is often consid
ered a more serious place to study than the Under
graduate "Zoo" has 10 acres of floor space over nine
levels on a three-acre site.
Davis has a total seating capacity of 3,013 and a
capacity of 1.8 million volumes.
The library includes several ingenious design fea
tures. One of the most striking features is a large main
gallery hung with colorful banners, showing historic
printer's marks represented in the Rare Book Collec
tion. The building was names for Walter Royal Davis, a
Texas businessman with family roots in Elizabeth City,
N.C. He was a member of the UNC Board of Trustees
for eight years and he fought in the state legislature to
claim for Chapel Hill the major portion of funds re
ceived from the sale of University utilities.

Kenan Stadium
Kenan Stadium, located near the center of campus,
is generally referred to as one of the most beautiful
arenas in the country. Inside Sports magazine has rated
the stadium as one of the five best places in the United
States to watch a football game.
Tar Heel football teams have played in Kenan for
61 years. In the first game at Kenan on Nov. 12, 1927,
the Tar Heels defeated Davidson 27-0.
William Rand Kenan, an 1894 UNC graduate, built
the stadium as a memorial to his parents, William R.
Kenan and Mary Hargrave Kenan. The complete cost
of the stadium and the accompanying fieldhouse was
$303,000. The original seating capacity was 24,000.
After renovations in 1988, the stadium's official
capacity is 52,000, though a 1983 game against Clemson
attracted a standing-room-only crowd of 53,689:
