We are pleased to announce the reopening of the USC Lancaster Arnold Special Events Room and Bundy Auditorium to the public on October 1st. The health and well-being of our students, faculty and staff have been our top priority during this unforeseen time and we want to thank you for your patience and understanding. In order to allow community use of campus facilities we are doing so in compliance with CDC and University of South Carolina guidelines so there are some limitations and restrictions that must followed. We will monitor events as we reopen to the public and reserve the right to make adjustments to the guidelines as situations dictate. Your patronage and compliance are greatly appreciated. Please contact our facility Rental Coordinator for details.
