FOOTBALL OPERATIONS FACILITY – H12-9922


Source of Funds: Private Gifts - Athletics


Description: This project is to construct an approximately 142,000 square foot facility which will house all football operational functions. The facility

will include coaches’ offices, team meeting rooms, recruiting areas, student-athlete/coaches locker rooms, a weight room, equipment

room, dining areas, and related spaces. The facility will be constructed on the southwest side of the indoor practice facility adjacent to

the outdoor practice fields and will bring all football activity into close proximity. Football operations facilities are a major component

of competitiveness in the conferences in which Clemson competes for student athletes. Major reasons for Clemson’s lack of

competitiveness in these areas are attributable to the lack of non-contiguous football facilities, exclusive training and rehab space for

football, food service, and condensed weight room space. Current facilities are not sufficient in square footage and an additional 45%

increase in square footage would place the University more in line with comparable football facilities across the nation. It is equally

important that the location of the building be adjacent to the current indoor and outdoor football practice facilities. Further, NCAA

governance changes continue to affect both staff sizes and additional programming that the University can provide to its student athletes.

This new building will allow the Athletic Department to better serve the needs of its student athletes now and will provide needed space

in the future as additional governance changes take place.

ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM UPGRADES AND REPLACEMENT – H12-9923

Project Budget: $1,125,000.00 (Concept/Phase 1)

Source of Funds: Maintenance and Stewardship Funds

Project Manager: Bret McCarley (construction); Pat Crowther (procurement)

Description: This project is to upgrade the main campus electrical distribution system which was predominantly constructed in the late-1950’s through

mid-1960’s. The work will include replacing aging electrical distribution infrastructure, creating a redundant loop feed system to

eliminate single point system failure possibilities, adding communication and distribution automation capability to all switches to reduce

outage durations, and developing a central operations location to monitor and control a Distribution Automation System. It will also

include converting remaining exposed overhead electrical facilities to underground, adding metering and controls to equipment in

campus buildings with aging utility transformers and main gear, and making modifications to the campus electrical system. The project

will be multi-year to replace vulnerable sections of the aging electrical infrastructure to improve system reliability in areas which have

higher probability of failure, impacting major academic research and student life activities.

BUSINESS AND BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES BUILDING – H12-9929

Project Budget: $5,000,000.00 (Concept/Phase 1)

Source of Funds: Capital Reserve Fund


Description: This project is to design and construct an approximately 162,000 square foot building to relocate the College of Business and Behavioral

Science from Sirrine Hall, built in 1938. The existing antiquated academic facility no longer provides adequate space for planned growth

for modern instructional delivery methods. The College of Business and Behavioral Sciences (CBBS) is currently co-located with other

academic programs in Sirrine. The new facility will become the dedicated, recognizable home for all business and related disciplines

within the CBBS, and it will provide space for the college’s administrative offices, outreach centers and research institutes. The new

facility will include a variety of classrooms and learning laboratories, faculty and administrative offices, study and gathering spaces,

student services spaces and common areas that will encourage greater collaboration among students, faculty, staff and business partners.

The new facility will provide an enhanced interface between academics and industry, accommodate growth and provide flexibility to

adapt to advancements in technology and instructional methods. Construction of the new facility will also allow Sirrine Hall to be

utilized as swing space, which will allow for the systematic renovation of other aging campus facilities.
