Clemson University broke ground March 8 on its new 85,000-square-foot Department of Forestry and Environmental Conservation.
Located on the corner of Cherry and Perimeter Roads, the four-story structure will replace Lehotsky Hall and will include classrooms, labs, collaboration spaces, offices and support areas, as well as an outdoor lab for easy access to Hunnicutt Creek, a garden courtyard and an indoor-outdoor connection throughout the space.
“With this new building, our faculty, staff and students will have a physical space within which we can meet the expanding and everchanging needs of the forest industry and natural resource management professions,” said Todd Petty, chair of Clemson’s Department of Forestry and Environmental Conservation.
Construction on the facility is expected to be completed in early 2026.
