The University of North Carolina is moving ahead with plans to build an incubator that will give businesses spun out of campus research a place to grow.

The school hasn't set aside money for the building, but the university's board of trustees has approved plans for the 13-acre site.

North Carolina is one of the few large public research universities in the nation without an incubator. A 2000 survey by the National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges found that 65 percent of public universities had a business incubator or research park.
