NC State's Main Campus has three sub-campuses: North Campus, Central Campus, and South Campus. North Campus is the oldest part of NC State and is home to most academic departments and a few residence halls. Central Campus is mainly residence halls, cafeterias, gymnasiums and student support facilities. Finally, Greek Court, the McKimmon Conference and Training Center, and student park-and-ride areas are found on South Campus. North and Central Campus are separated by the [[North Carolina Railroad]]. Pedestrian tunnels allow students to commute between campuses. Central and South Campuses are separated by Western Boulevard, a major downtown artery. University Housing divides Main Campus into West, Central, and East Campus for residence hall purposes. West and Central campuses are divided by Dan Allen Drive, while Central and East are divided by Morill Drive and [[Reynolds Coliseum]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ncsu.edu/facilities/campus_history/index.htm|title=Campus History|publisher=NC State Facilities Division|access-date=May 25, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080509011224/http://www.ncsu.edu/facilities/campus_history/index.htm|archive-date=May 9, 2008|url-status=dead}}</ref>

[[File:Pulstar2.jpg|thumb|right|175px|NC State's [[Pulstar (nuclear reactor)|PULSTAR]] Reactor is a 1 MW pool-type [[nuclear reactor|nuclear]] [[research reactor]].]]Architecturally, Main Campus is known for its distinctive red brick buildings. Brick statues dot the landscape, and the [[The Brickyard (NC State)|University Plaza]], colloquially named "The Brickyard", in North Campus is nicknamed for its paving material; most sidewalks are also made from brick. The Brickyard and sidewalks also contain white brick mosaics of the athletics logo and other patterns.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ncsu.edu/nso/traditions/campus/brickyard/brickyard.htm |title=Traditions: Brickyard |publisher=NC State New Student Orientation |access-date=May 25, 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080509000449/http://www.ncsu.edu/nso/traditions/campus/brickyard/brickyard.htm |archive-date=May 9, 2008 }}</ref>

The [[North Carolina State University Memorial Belltower|Memorial Belltower]], located in the Northeast corner of North Campus, serves as the signature of NC State and appears in the NC State Chancellor's Seal. It was constructed as a monument to alumni killed in World War I. The granite tower, completed in 1937, is 115&nbsp;feet (35 m) tall. As a tradition, the Belltower is lit in red at night immediately following athletic victories and certain academic achievements.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://chancellor.ncsu.edu/belltower.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060901090821/http://chancellor.ncsu.edu/belltower.html|title=Belltower Celebrations|publisher=NC State Office of the Chancellor|archive-date=September 1, 2006 }}</ref>

[[File:1911 Building.jpg|thumb|The 1911 building on North Carolina State's Main Campus]]
The [[Court of North Carolina]], just west of the Memorial Belltower, is surrounded by the 1911 Building; the College of Humanities and Social Sciences in Tompkins, Caldwell, Winston Halls and The College of Education in Poe Hall; Page Hall, home to College of Engineering offices; and Leazar Hall, former location of the Computer Science Teaching Labs. It was once home to 100 trees (one for every [[County (United States)|county]] in [[North Carolina]]), but damage caused by [[Hurricane Fran]] in 1996 reduced the number significantly, including the destruction of a particularly old and large tree which was some {{convert|12|ft|m}} in diameter. Some replanting has occurred, but the Court's former appearance is far from being restored.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ncsu.edu/facilities/buildings/tower.html|title=Memorial Bell Tower|publisher=NC State Facilities Division|access-date=May 25, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080705044636/http://www.ncsu.edu/facilities/buildings/tower.html|archive-date=July 5, 2008|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Southwest of the Court of North Carolina is another landmark, the [[North Carolina State University Free Expression Tunnel|Free Expression Tunnel]]. The Tunnel functions as one of three pedestrian tunnels underneath the railroad tracks separating North Campus and Central Campus. This particular tunnel is the site of sanctioned [[graffiti]]; anyone may paint there, and it is often the place for political statements, personal messages, and art. This tunnel also serves as a way to advertise events going on around campus.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://media.www.technicianonline.com/media/storage/paper848/news/2006/05/25/News/Free-Expression.Tunnel.Open-2013899.shtml|title=Free Expression Tunnel open|last=Pittner|first=Danielle|date=May 25, 2006|work=Technician|access-date=May 25, 2008|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927185836/http://media.www.technicianonline.com/media/storage/paper848/news/2006/05/25/News/Free-Expression.Tunnel.Open-2013899.shtml|archive-date=September 27, 2007}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.thefire.org/index.php/article/9967.html|title=Free Expression Tunnel|last=Shibley|first=Robert|date=November 24, 2008|work=FIRE|access-date=January 31, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081205045702/http://www.thefire.org/index.php/article/9967.html|archive-date=December 5, 2008|url-status=dead}}</ref> In 2008, racist and threatening graffiti in the tunnel directed at then President-elect [[Barack Obama]] prompted an investigation from the [[United States Secret Service]]. Students held a "Unity Rally" in response to denounce the acts of racism.<ref>{{cite web|title=Racist graffiti directed at Obama|url=http://historicalstate.lib.ncsu.edu/catalog/2008-11-05-racist-graffiti-directed-at-obama|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141105075946/http://historicalstate.lib.ncsu.edu/catalog/2008-11-05-racist-graffiti-directed-at-obama|url-status=dead|archive-date=November 5, 2014|access-date=December 21, 2011}}</ref>

The [[Wolfline]] bus service connects points on the campuses with each other. It also provides transportation to collegiate athletic events.<ref>{{Cite web |date=July 15, 2021 |title=Wolfline FAQ - Transportation |url=https://transportation.ncsu.edu/wolfline/wolfline-faq/ |access-date=February 16, 2024 |language=en-US}}</ref>
