PAUL J. RIZZO CONFERENCE CENTER at MEADOWMONT
THE DUBOSE HOME AND 27 ACRES OF GARDENS WERE BEQUEATHED TO the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the late 1980s. In 1994, UNC Kenan- Flagler Business School took possession of the property and officials made plans to build the Paul J. Rizzo Conference Center (the Rizzo Center) at Meadowmont, an executive education center for working professionals. As an avid gardener, Mrs. DuBose established an endowment that funds the maintenance and upkeep of the grounds in perpetuity. After breaking ground in 1997, the Rizzo Center officially opened in 2000 after a total of $37 million in renovations. In 2015, the university completed a $42 million expansion that included renovations to and creation of more guestrooms and meeting spaces. In addition to the Dubose Home, the Rizzo Center has two main buildings. Loudermilk Hall is a 47,000 square-foot building which features three tiered classrooms, 21 breakout rooms, and an elegant multi-purpose room that can be subdivided into three spaces. McLean Hall is a 96,000 square-foot building that offers residence and conference facilities and includes 183 guest rooms, 22 study rooms, six multi-purpose seminar rooms, and two boardrooms. Every detail was crafted for a seamless participant experience, down to the umbrellas positioned at every entrance in the event of inclement weather. UNC Executive Development has built strong collaborative relationships with businesses, the federal government, and other organizations to create customized executive development programs for over 60 years. As a part of UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School, UNC Executive Development brings the university’s experience, reputation, and world-class faculty together to deliver programs in a purpose-built learning environment unlike any other in the world.
