Clemson's Zucker center to open new era of engineering in Charleston | Clemson University News and Stories, South Carolina
Recently, Clemson University held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to open its brand new $21.5 million Zucker Family Graduate Education Center, a 70,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility that will help shape the future of the state’s engineering landscape for generations to come. The distinctive glass and steel building is located at the Clemson University Restoration Institute in North Charleston, joining the Warren Lasch Conservation Center and the SCE&G Energy Innovation Center.
The Zucker Family Graduate Education Center offers master’s degrees and doctorates in electrical engineering, computer engineering, mechanical engineering; a Ph.D. In computer science; and a Master of Fine Arts in digital production arts.
Inside the sun-filled, waterfront facility, students will gather in dozens of naturally lit classrooms, all of which offer real-time video conferencing with Clemson’s main campus, varied meeting spaces and a variety of public and private collaboration spaces.
The center also features a video production room, green-screen/motion capture room, virtual reality simulator, a 35-person theater for screening student work or movies and an expansive rooftop garden that will allow students to work in the fresh air.
The center is open to industry representatives looking to engage with faculty, students and researchers. General Electric, Savannah River National Laboratory and Choate Construction already have committed to leasing office space there.
