Project Overview:

Quackenbush Architects + Planners designed the new Chapin Middle School for Lexington / Richland Five in collaboration with Perkins + Will’s K-12 studio. Still under construction, the 120,000 square foot design will initially serve 800 students in two classroom “houses” organized around a core of flexible collaborative spaces. The plan is organized via a central two-story spine enhanced with natural light from above. Each academic house has access to a secure exterior courtyard that expands the learning environment to the outdoors. The program also includes comprehensive wellness and arts components, state-of-the-art media center, and a full array of specialized science and art classrooms. The design includes provisions for the future addition of a third classroom academy to accommodate a student capacity of 1,200.

Project Overview:

The Boudreaux Group has been engaged by the University of South Carolina to renovate the Health Sciences Building for use by the School of Journalism and Mass Communications. Located in the Historic Horseshoe District, the building will be completely transformed on the interior while maintaining and improving the historic exterior character. Life safety and building system improvements are of utmost importance to this renovation.

With goals of maximizing flexibility and creating dynamic learning spaces that facilitate social interaction, this renovation will focus on creating a technology infrastructure that can be adapted to the ever-changing needs of the Journalism School’s technology-intensive curriculum. Unique spaces to this building include creative newsrooms and a broadcast studio showcased through glass walls. The building itself will capture the multi-media energy of the communications industry and will welcome students, alumni, professionals and the community alike.

Upcoming Dates:

5/14-5/16 – AIA National Convention in Atlanta

5/27 – May Membership Meeting @ USC School of Journalism
