The main campus is made up of 41 buildings, situated on 272 acres. This includes the Coastal Science Center and the Burroughs & Chapin Center for Marine and Wetland Studies located on the new "East Campus," developed in the Atlantic Industrial Center to accommodate the University's rapid growth. The university also owns Waties Island, a 1,062 acre barrier island that serves as a natural laboratory. CCU is one of 30 U.S. sea grant colleges that are a part of the National Sea Grant College Program. Coastal Carolina's athletic programs compete in NCAA Division I as a member of the Big South Conference (the football team competes in NCAA Division I-AA). In athletic competition, the mascot is the Chanticleer. A Chanticleer is the fiesty rooster named in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales and is a derivative of the University of South Carolina Gamecocks. The colors of the University's athletic programs are teal and bronze.
- The Coastal Carolina Chanticleers are the athletic teams that represent Coastal Carolina University. They participate in Division I of the NCAA and are a charter member of the Big South Conference. Coastal fields varsity teams in 16 sports, 8 each for both men and women. The football team competes in the Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS), formerly I-AA. The University regularly competes for the Sasser Cup which is the Big South's trophy for the university which has the best sports program among the member institutions. Coastal has won the Sasser Cup nine times, just ahead of rival Liberty University, which has won it eight times. Until the mid-1960s Coastal's teams were known as the Trojans. Upon its affiliation with the University of South Carolina, the push was made for a mascot more in line with the parent's mascot (the Gamecock); the ultimate choice was the Chanticleer (pronounced SHON-ti-clear), the proud, witty rooster made famous in "The Nun's Priest's Tale" of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales (the mascot itself would be named Chauncey). When Coastal became an independent university in 1993, despite some calls for "a complete split from USC" (i.e., change the mascot), the Chanticleer remained the school's mascot.
