UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 2015 VOL. 116, NO. 81 • SINCE 1908 Arts & Culture Beginner’s guide to Death Grips| Page 4 Federal agency backs out of lease Lauren Shirley @SURELYLAUREN The U.S. Department of Justice is negotiating ending its 20-year lease of USC’s old business school building, The State reported Monday. The reason for the decision the Justice Department made to drop the lease has not been made clear, but USC will suffer an annual loss of $5.3 million in revenue as a result. “We’ll turn it into a win for USC,” Ed Walton, USC’s chief operating offi cer, told The State. The lease was supposed to accumulate $106 million for the university and bring over 250 “high paying” jobs to Columbia. The Executive Offi ce for United States Attorneys was supposed to move from Washington D.C. to USC’s Close-Hipp building by 2017, but the lease would not start until $25 million was spent on upgrades.
