UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA FRIDAY, JANUARY 25, 2013 VOL. 111, NO. 08 ● SINCE 1908 Plans for new health center advance Designs not set for $27 million building, which could break ground as early as December

Thad Moore & Sarah Ellis [email protected]

Student Health Services could break ground on a new, $27 million health center as early as December. The building hasn’t been designed yet, but architects and designers have started to seek input from Health Services staff and students, including at a student forum Thursday evening, said Nicole Carrico , the offi ce’s spokeswoman . Health Services has been taking funds from the student health fee over the past few years to pay for the construction, Carrico said. It’ll be designed by Quackenbush Architects and Perkins+Will , who were selected in a bid process for their experience with healthcare facilities and their aesthetics, which usually feature lots of glass and an open design, Carrico said. She compared the building’s design to the look of the renovated Patterson Hall. “It will be a very transparent, welcoming place to visit,” said Doug Quackenbush, of Quackenbush Architects, at Thursday’s forum. “We’re very excited about how it could really improve the campus.” The 60,000-square-foot building will go up next to the Andrew Askins / THE DAILY GAMECOCK CENTER ● 3 A ceiling in the 38-year-old Thomson Student Health Center is crumbling because of water damage.

USC will partner with the Stamps Family Charitable Foundation to increase the size of the Carolina Scholars program beginning in Fall 2013. Five more in-state students will receive the $10,000-per-year scholarship, meaning the university will now award 25 of the scholarships each year. Each of the Stamps Scholars will be awarded an additional $8,000 as an “enrichment fund” for study abroad programs, internships Photos by Nick Nalbone / THE DAILY GAMECOCK and other experiential learning, according Rebecca Davenport’s show, “Step Right Up!
