With the marching band, cheerleaders, and the WDG project team (Bob, Susan, Matt, and Felipe) in attendance at the Grand Opening event, The University of South Carolina cut the ribbon on Campus Village, the four-building, 1,800-bed student living project and largest development in the University’s 222-year history.
“I’m delighted today to cut the ribbon of a much-needed housing facility for our undergraduate students. The impressive Campus Village complex reflects the growth and future potential of USC, addresses the needs of our students and further strengthens their overall college experience.”
Michael Amiridis
President, University of South Carolina
