The University of South Carolina announced in mid-December that it had selected Gilbane as its partner to lead the planning, design, development, construction, and operations of the University’s health sciences campus in the BullStreet District in downtown Columbia, South Carolina. 

The University’s health sciences campus is expected to have a transformational impact on health science research and health care delivery in the state of South Carolina. Overall, the health sciences campus represents a $300 million investment. The campus will provide state-of-the-art space for clinical education and bring together eminent researchers to help meet South Carolina’s health challenges. The initial stage of the health sciences campus will include a new medical education building to house the School of Medicine Columbia and a new multidisciplinary research building. Together, the two buildings will provide an estimated 292,000 gross square feet. Current plans call for construction to begin in 2025 and be completed in 2027.
