South Carolina University
the university of south carolina is home to more than 200 years of history and tradition, rising from a single building in 1805 on what would become the heart of the campus, the horseshoe. the 11 buildings that now make up the horseshoe frame a lush lawn that is an irresistible gathering place.
the university is expanding west toward the congaree river in support of its research initiatives in nanotechnology, health sciences, future fuels™, the environment and information technologies. this innovation district, innovista, includes a master plan for policy, physical infrastructure and support elements for job creation and growth in the knowledge economy. innovista promises to be an economic catalyst that will raise the state’s per-capita income and quality of life by attracting knowledge-based businesses and high-paying jobs to an urban research university campus within a community that has a high livability appeal.
joining the flagship campus in columbia, are four-year campuses in aiken, beaufort and upstate (spartanburg andgreenville). four two-year campuses in lancaster, sumter, salkehatchie (allendale and walterboro) and union help the university cover the state.
our mascot c-cky searches the south carolina university campus to find a suitable roost. between russell house, the horseshoe, the strom thurmond wellness and fitness center, the hustle and bustle of campus life gets c-cky down; how can he find a peaceful home with all the commotion on campus? luckily, he finds a peaceful place in the heart of campus to call home– gibbes green.
