SOLD OUT! AIA Charleston: Hard Hat Tour + Happy Hour
2026-04-15 17:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York)
April 17 – Hard Hat Tour – D10 Middle School West Ashley
DATE: Wednesday, April 15
TIME: 5 pm
LOCATION: 1776 William Kennerty Dr, Charleston, SC
Join us for a hard hat tour of this new academic facility!
This project includes a new two-story, 103,000 square foot building addition at the existing C.E. Williams Middle School North Campus — designed by Moseley Architects to provide modern learning environments, collaborative spaces, and resources to inspire student success for generations to come. The project will serve 600 students (900 core) and includes a separate 29,000 SF wing for Pattison’s Academy for Comprehensive Education.
The exterior & interior partitions are nearing completion & they are starting on 2nd floor framing in the near future, so this tour will have good views of the bones of this building.
We will meet at the site entrance at 5:00pm; please arrive early to park at the nearby Middle School and walk over. Closed-toe shoes, hard hats, and safety vests are required for all attendees; please bring your own as limited PPE will be available on site.
This event is open to AIA Members only and HSW Credit will be logged for all attendees.
Happy Hour : After the hard hat tour, we will meet at Frothy Beard Brewing (5 minute drive) for a happy hour around 6:00. We would love to see you even if you cannot make the hard hat tour!
