Building better in community
The Pappas Real Estate Development Program champions community building through placemaking by fostering student and professional growth in design-focused, STEM-integrated, real estate development education, engagement, and applied research.
The Pappas Development Program took the classroom to Charlotte! 🏙️🐺
Students had the opportunity to attend the Industry Council Meeting, connecting with industry professionals and gaining valuable insight into the world of real estate and development.
We walked away with three major takeaways from the experience—check out what we learned!

We’d love to talk to you about our ongoing housing study during lunch at the 2026 Housing Symposium on October 5, 2026, starting at 11:45 am at NC State University`s Talley Student Center.
Presented by NC State College of Design’s School of Architecture, AIA Triangle, and the Pappas Real Estate Development Program, this symposium brings together architects, developers, planners, city officials, and housing advocates to unpack these issues — through keynote lectures, panel discussions, and an exhibition of innovative housing work from the Triangle and beyond.

Placemaking by Design: Some Assembly Required — Innovations in NC Modular Housing. Last week we brought together thoughtful voices and fresh perspectives on the future of modular housing in North Carolina.
The conversation explored how design, innovation, and new approaches to construction can help shape more responsive housing solutions across our communities.
Thank you to our speakers, partners, and everyone who joined us for an engaging discussion. We’re grateful for the ideas shared, connections made, and continued conversation around what’s possible when thoughtful design meets innovation.
