Our current space, at 103 West Main, in Carrboro, is an old single family mill house that has:
- A crumbling foundation
- A leaking roof
- Inadequate heating and air-conditioning
- Limited accessible space
- Overcrowded areas for study and job preparation
- A kitchen that can’t fit our culinary work
- Large, ongoing maintenance issues
- Many, many more problems
Our programs simply cannot Fully function.
We are a community, but we have no place to meet as a whole community.

Why here? Why now?
For people discharged from the hospital, there is no place else to go where they are guaranteed:
- A right to a place to come
- A right to meaningful relationships
- A right to meaningful work
- A right to a place to return
Our plan
The Club Nova Building Campaign is designed to meet the current and expanding needs of our community by raising money to construct a new building on our Main Street site.

What our new Clubhouse will house…
We plan to begin building our new, fully accessible, multi-cultural, state-of-the-art Clubhouse in 2021. Some of the features will include:
- A 9,125 square foot space over two floors
- A greenhouse and garden
- An environmentally friendly building that reflects the unique character of Club Nova and Carrboro
- A stargazer terrace
- An 80-person dining room
- Ample functional space for study and employment preparation
- A full commercial kitchen
