Campus Projects
Building on our Future
A new student commons area. Increased outdoor recreation spaces. Updated technology in classrooms. And more.
There are several exciting summer projects underway at UC! For our students returning to the Charleston campus in the Fall, these projects will significantly enhance the on-campus experience. For our alumni and community, these improvements will make your next visit to campus a special one. The two biggest projects are renovations to our dining facilities and establishing state-of-the-art healthcare simulation labs.
Note: All of these projects are funded by grants and donor gifts.
