SC State consists of approximately 107 buildings on 160 acres of land on its main campus in Orangeburg, and an additional 267 acres at Camp Harry E. Daniels in Ellore, S.C.

Highlights

• The Engineering and Computer Science Complex opened in 2013. The 24.5 million, 86, 500-square-foot complex will feature innovative classrooms, research centers, laboratories, offices and other academic support spaces.
• The James E. Clyburn Transportation Center conducts research and trains skilled workers, especially minority workers, in the transportation industry. SC State will soon complete the center’s core building. About $13 million in federal funding, along with a $2.5 million match from the state, will allow the university to build out the center on the Russell Street side of campus. The Clyburn Transportation Center’s mission is to assist federal, state and local agencies in meeting their goals to develop a highly skilled workforce to meet the future needs in transportation.
• SC State has the only undergraduate environmental science field station in the nation.
• SC State is the only HBCU in the country with an interdisciplinary art museum and planetarium in one facility, the I.P. Stanback Museum & Planetarium.
• The Leroy Davis Sr. Science and Research Complex, an extension of Hodge Hall, is a recently constructed state-of-the-art facility housing the Department of Biology and Physical Sciences. The Leroy Davis Sr. Science and Research Complex opened in January 2011.
• SC State recently embarked on a $24.5 million upgrade of the Kirkland W. Green Student Center, a long overdue project that will bring amenities on par with what other universities offer their students. Adjacent to the Student Center Plaza is the pavilion, a new recreational and gathering space to enhance student life.
• SC State also is renovating Truth Hall with $10 million that will ultimately allow us to utilize the entire 14-story tower for student housing. The revitalized Truth will serve about 400 residents.
• SC State is in the planning phase for the $54.7 million construction of a new academic building, which will replace most of the outdated Turner Hall complex.
