MEMORIAL STADIUM WEZ COMPONENT III – H12-9901
Project Budget: $6,600,000.00 (Final/Phase 2)
Source of Funds: Athletic Revenue Bonds
Project Manager: Sam Zanca
Description: This project represents the third and final phase of the updates to the WestZone Complex of Memorial Stadium. The addition

also include the construction of the Oculus which will be the signature vertical element of the Stadium. The bridge will make a direct
connection from the north to the south stands, alleviating congestion on the interior WestZone concourse. The bridge will serve to
provide symmetry to the exterior façade and serve as an advantageous overlook point to tailgating and Tigerwalk entrance activities.
Both of these components result in the build out of an additional 6,000 square feet which consists of the construction of a four-level
structure and the expansion of the adjacent existing Clanton Plaza. The project will include good LEED practices and will include
sustainable design solutions where possible.

Substantial Completion date: December 2016
Status:
The majority of the utilities relocation work, including the AT&T installation and demolition, was completed in order to meet the
installation schedule of the aggregate piers. Due to a multiple abandoned steam and chilled water lines that have been encountered as
well as buried concrete vaults and retaining walls, site grading is progressing slowly. The majority of the abandoned lines contain
asbestos which slows the removal process even further. Additionally, the existing soils are out of specification on moisture content
and fill material is being hauled in for the building foundation grading. Rebar was installed for the concrete foundation for Building
D (the North tower). Stevens & Wilkinson is scheduled to deliver the Construction Documents (CDs) on April 7, 2015. WhitingTurner will provide a CD cost estimate in May 2015 and GMP in June 2015. Value engineering sessions are still ongoing with
mechanical, electrical and plumbing subcontractors, designers and CM team members.

Project Manager: Mike Davis
Description: This project will construct a 70,000 to 75,000 square foot Graduate Education Center (GEC) at the Clemson University Restoration
Institute (CURI) in North Charleston on the old Charleston Naval Base. The facility will support the undergraduate and graduate
education activities for proposed programs in energy systems, water ecology, logistics, advanced materials manufacturing, workforce
development, and K-12 STEM education. These programs will be focused on building public/private partnerships with industry. The
GEC will also serve as Clemson University’s continuing education facility in the low country of South Carolina and will provide shell
space for industry partners in a variety of office-type settings. Clemson students, faculty, and staff will engage in academic activities
in the GEC. The CURI campus management staff will be located in the building. It is anticipated the facility will include offices,
classrooms, conference rooms, café, gallery space, electrical laboratories, and a green roof. The building will seek USGBC LEED
silver certification.
This project will also renovate portions of the Warren G. Lasch Conservation Laboratory (Lasch Lab) which is home to the Hunley
submarine restoration work. Renovations will focus primarily on converting the Hunley tank to a caustic system to allow for better
preservation of this historic Civil War era artifact. The caustic system will include new piping and support equipment for the tank
along with upgraded control systems. Climate controlled storage facilities for the Hunley artifacts will be provided along with finish
upgrades to the Lasch Lab entry lobby.

ADVANCED PLANT TECHNOLOGY LAB – P20-9546
Project Budget: $7,000,000.00 (Final/Phase 2)
Source of Funds: State Appropriations and Capital Reserve Fund
Project Manager: Al Cope
Description: This project encompasses the renovation of laboratory space and the upgrade of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems at the
Pee Dee Research and Education Center (REC) in Florence, S.C. This Center houses the Advanced Plant Technology Program and
Laboratory, which provides critical research needed for a successful agriculture-based biotechnology industry in South Carolina.
The critical components of the renovation include new mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. Many of the proposed design
decisions are also contingent on a new sprinkler system and a new water line to replace an existing PVC main.
The vision for the renovated center and laboratory includes the creation of permeable spaces that foster interaction and team-based
work and hybrid, flexible spaces capable of accommodating visitors, emerging technologies, and corporate partnerships. The
proposed renovation will not only refresh aging systems in the building, but will provide additional office and laboratory space
through better utilization of existing space.

Final Phase 1 Approval: October 2014
Final Design: May 2015
Notice to proceed: To be determined.
Substantial Completion: November 2016
Status:
A contract has been awarded to Turner Construction Company as the Construction Manager at Risk for preconstruction services.
Turner has been actively involved during the design process by facilitating pricing and constructability issues for the Phase 2 budget
development. LS3P Architects along with AECOM has issued the schematic drawings and is nearing completion of the design
development phase of the project. The construction budget has been set at $45,000,000.00. A value engineering effort is ongoing
with the team to bring the project within budget. Bunnell-Lammons Engineering has performed shear wave testing of the site and the
results of the test showed that the facility can be designed considering seismic Site Class C. This will allow the project to avoid added
costs due to enhanced structural design as a result of a more stringent site classification.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES CENTER RENOVATION – H12-9917
Project Budget: $100,000.00 (Concept/Phase 1)
Source of Funds: Private
Project Manager: Kevin McDonough
Description: A 7,000 square foot vacated central campus agriculture building, formerly known as the Sheep Barn, which is currently used for
material storage, will be renovated into a student activity center. Due to an open floor plan, the renovated facility will include large
meeting and lecture rooms and spaces for student and academic-related functions. The renovation will include making structural
improvements to the facility, adding mechanical and electrical systems, and upgrading the building envelope to provide a comfortable,
energy efficient environment. Care will be taken to preserve the character of the facility and maintain its status on the National
Register of Historic Place.

providing redundancy, and reducing the University’s carbon footprint, as well as improving energy efficiency and meeting EPA
emissions regulations. The work will include replacing the existing 1964 coal fired boiler with a high-efficient boiler fueled
primarily by natural gas with fuel oil backup, and removing the fuel (coal) conveyance, storage and ash handling systems which were
installed during the original plant construction in 1948.
