Today, UNC Pembroke hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony for its newly opened James A. Thomas Hall.
“This building is the outcome of support from so many,” said UNCP Chancellor Robin Gary Cummings. “We look forward to holding the ribbon-cutting ceremony to thank Jim and Sally Thomas, our donors and our local and state legislators who all had a hand in making this building a reality.”
Named in honor of UNCP Trustee James A. “Jim” Thomas, the building is home to the Thomas School of Business and cost $38 million to be built. Thomas gifted the university $7 million to go to the project, making it the largest charitable gift in the history of UNCP.
Also in attendance, along with the Thomas family, will be Governor Roy Cooper, North Carolina House Speaker Tim Moore, and Senate President Pro Tempore Phil Berger.
In 2019 Metcon developers broke ground to begin construction. The building officially opened to students in January 2022.
The building includes offices, classrooms, a business career center, a 300-seat auditorium, an interactive market-style trading room, student discussion areas, and an eatery. Tours will be provided at the conclusion of the event.
