USC NextColumbia Campus Master Plan
The University of South Carolina Board of Trustees has approved USC Next,
a 10-year master plan of proposed improvements and capital projects designed to meet
the needs of USC Columbia students, faculty and staff through 2034.
The plan accommodates future student body growth, maximizes underutilized campus core facilities, and invigorates existing teaching and research facilities, student housing and more. Projects will be addressed and approved individually as university officials identify priorities, establish financing and pursue partnerships.
