Where we are starting from . . .
  • Research Space as a percentage of Total Academic Space :
  • - National Average: 29%
  • - Average among (3) South Carolina Universities: 11%
  • - University of South Carolina   6%
  • Only 27% of the University’s existing facilities are considered to be “suitable for use” with normal maintenance
  • Only one new USC Research Facility has been completed since 1990 (Graduate Science Research Center)
