College of Charleston Begins Renovation Projects

The College of Charleston in Charleston, S.C., recently kicked off two campus renovation projects.

Craig Hall, which contains the Admissions Visitor Center and Office of Admissions, will receive a series of mechanical renovations, according to university news. Admissions services will move to another campus building for the duration, and Craig Hall is scheduled to reopen before the beginning of the 2022–23 academic year.

Renovations to the first floor of the Marlene and Nathan Addlestone Library are also underway. Additions are slated to include more collaborative space for students, an expanded access and instruction desk in support of student and faculty research, two podcast studios and a permanent exhibition featuring items from the John M. Rivers Communications Museum.

University news reports that the library will remain open during all phases of renovation and that the major phases of construction work are scheduled during the college’s summer and winter breaks.
