As part of an ongoing effort to assist Johnson C. Smith University with the sustainable revitalization for Charlotte’s Historic West End, Neighboring Concepts is working with the Smith family to develop a gas station and brownfield site on the edge of the campus into a new campus bookstore.
The newly designed building will quadruple the size of the existing bookstore and provide students, faculty and staff with a fully operational print shop. The project site was targeted by the Urban Land Institute Study as being a prime location to help catalyze development along the West Trade Street Corridor.
