History
The construction of Carroll Hall was completed in 1953. Dudley DeWitt Carroll — the building's namesake — was the first dean of UNC's School of Commerce, which was the first iteration of UNC's business school. Carroll Hall first housed the business school, which is now known as the Kenan-Flagler Business School and has since moved to the McColl Building on South Campus.
The building has undergone several expansions since its initial construction. In 1971, several new wings were added and other structural additions were made to the existing building. Since 1999, Carroll Hall has been home to the UNC School of Media and Journalism.
