Governors Scott Courtyard

A Hub for Business and Sciences

Governors Scott Courtyard is home to the Poole College of Management as well as departments including chemistry, physics, biology and zoology.

The courtyard, located on campus, is surrounded by Kilgore Hall, the Phytotron, Fox Science Teaching Laboratory, David Clark Labs and Nelson Hall. More than a collection of classrooms, it’s a hub of discovery where students collaborate with faculty on groundbreaking undergraduate research. The word “Governors” in the courtyard’s name is plural in honor of North Carolina’s two governors named Scott: W. Kerr Scott (1949-1953) and Robert W. Scott (1969-1973).
