Walking tour of Kenan-Flagler, via YouTube

There is someone out there who obviously has way too much time on his hands. He has been making videos of the Kenan-Flagler facilities and uploading them onto YouTube. The videos are without narration and they actually make the McColl building pretty nice. I am going to link them at the bottom and include my comments.

Make the turn onto Skipper Bowles, see Dean Dome in the background (at around 0:20) and the final left turn onto Kenan Drive brings you right up onto the Kenan-Flagler garage.

 

 

From the garage, walk up the steps between McColl and the Kenan Center and find yourself at the courtyard.

The view from the opposite end of the same courtyard.

 

From the courtyard, walk into the second floor of McColl and you will find the main lobby and the grand circular staircase (first 4 seconds of clip).

 

 

Go down onto the first floor and find Café McColl, my least favorite part of the building.

Go up onto the fourth floor and find my favorite hiding spot in the entire building, the faculty study lounge. Outside is a balcony where you can see the top of the UNC Hospital (at about 41 seconds into the clip) where there a helicopter landing pad and in the last 4 seconds, you can actually see how close Kenan-Flagler is to the Dean Dome.
