Given the scale, size and prominences the architect created an excellent variety, of spaces and features that anchors this University’s core campus precinct.
Following a 2002 campus master plan decision to demolish and replace three major buildings in the middle of its main campus, Clemson University set out to fundamentally reimagine its entire Core Campus Precinct. The entire design team diligently worked to develop a clear and engaging vision for the Precinct’s evolution. What came of this was a forward-looking approach to housing, academics, dining and student life programs combined into an intense, innovative and dynamic mixed-use center where current and prospective students can now connect with Clemson’s traditions in a new and contemporary atmosphere.
