The Sonja Haynes Stone Center for Black History and Culture, a new 44,500-square-foot building, opened in 2004. The late Sonja Haynes Stone was director of UNC-Chapel Hill's African and Afro-American Studies curriculum from 1974 to 1979. She was an associate professor at UNC-Chapel Hill until her death in 1991. The building houses the staff of the Stone Center, seminar rooms, classrooms, a 10,000-volume lending library, a computer classroom, art gallery and museum, 360-seat auditorium, a multipurpose room, a dance studio, several office suites, single offices and space for visiting scholars/artists.

Airport shuttle service to/from Chapel Hill can be arranged through RDU Airport Transportation Services, and all major rental car agencies serve the RDU Airport as well.
