In response to an urgent need for veterinary education, Clemson University created South Carolina’s first College of Veterinary Medicine. This project demonstrates how institutions can rapidly mobilize resources, secure funding, and implement innovative learning models to support both the regional economy and academics while fostering wellness and sustainability. At SCUP, we’ll discuss how the new college will drive economic growth, address a veterinarian shortage, and transform a greenfield site into seven buildings within 39 months.
