DESIGN+BUILD PROJECTS BY CLEMSON COMMUNITY BUILD
As we still await the go-to to break ground on site, this week is looking promising (cross your fingers). In the meantime though, we have officially completed all major structural components of the build and now we are working on the walls, the sliding doors, and we will be starting the built ins! Even though [...]
What a special day it is today! 35 years of the Clemson Architecture Center in Charleston and many more to come! Today will be a busy day as the design center has invited past alumni to come and celebrate. Special thanks to everyone who makes the CAC.C thrive! As far as the build goes.. we're [...]
Where to begin? As we are inches away from starting on site, there are so many things that need to be done before we can start. First off, we need a string plan. What is a string plan you ask? It's a sheet that David asked for and when someone asked him to look at [...]
Actually, it's quite the opposite and so much has happened since the last time we posted about the bridge. As a reminder the concrete pad closest to the pavilion was off by a foot, which means we had to do some problem solving. After coming up with some options on how to solve the problem, [...]

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great Easter weekend. With only three weeks left in the semester, there are a lot of things that are needing to be done. We have three projects that we are working on and plan on having them finished by the end of April! With that, we have broken up [...]
What a week! This past Friday we had the opportunity to present to the Parks Conservancy, Green Heart, Meeting Street Academy (MSA), and the City our small group designs. Many beautiful ideas were presented to them and everyone in attendance had such positive things to say about each project that it's definitely going to be [...]
Not too much has been going on since our last post. To recap, the studio is broken up into 3 teams for the site location/structure. Team one (T1) and team two (T2) are working on a single structure with T1 being in the center and T2 being adjacent to garden bed locations. Team Three is [...]
It is great to be back at the Clemson Design Center in Charleston! Coming back after being a part of the Fall 2021 semester, I am excited to be working with the Charleston community again, and our studio cannot wait to get something started for you all. If you have been keeping up with our [...]
It’s been a while since our studio has been on site, but I promise we didn’t pour the slab and called it quits. You should see us sometime today bringing in the structural pieces to start building the pavilion we have created for you! We have been working extremely hard in the shop getting all [...]
