Bernadette T. Donovan-Merkert, Ph.D., Professor and Chair, Dept. of Chemistry, provided a tour of the Burson Building Mar. 13 to North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper. One of UNC Charlotte’s top legislative priorities for 2019 is funding renovations of the Cameron and Burson buildings to increase lab and classroom space for fast-growing fields including STEM, computing and informatics, engineering and other physical sciences. The governor’s recently released budget proposal includes a $4 billion bond program with $20 million for the renovations of those facilities. While on campus, the Governor also learned about the Charlotte Teacher Early College (CTEC) program.
