ORANGEBURG, S.C. - South Carolina State University is honoring one of the state’s most influential leaders in a major way.

Om Wednesday, the university unveiled the James E. Clyburn Engineering and Computer Science Complex.

This three-story facility, originally built in 2012, has been renamed to honor the congressman, an alum of SC State.

The 85,000-square foot building features 15 labs, 21 classrooms, three computer labs, and a state-of-the-art auditorium.

University leaders say the complex represents a significant investment in STEM education, serving as a hub for innovation, research, and hands-on learning for years to come.
