University seal and South Building

The northernmost structure on Polk Place is South Building, which includes the office of Lee H. Roberts, Carolina’s 13th chancellor.

Located nearby on one of Polk Place’s brick pathways is the University seal.
Wilson Library

Opened in 1929, this is one of the most recognizable buildings at Carolina.
