Studio South

Studio South offers students staying on the Clemson main campus a similar level of engagement in place that is available at the other centers. Through this program students have an opportunity to work collaboratively with communities to design and construct solutions to real needs within the community. The Studio South program began in 2003 with projects located in Pendleton, SC. Graduate and undergraduate studios are available in Studio South.
Students in Studio South are required to enroll in support courses in Southern culture, building technology, project management, and other topics related to specific projects. By maintaining its location and projects around the main campus, the program can take advantage of the resources and expertise of the entire University. Architecture professors coordinate and facilitate the projects while faculty from other disciplines may also be involved in the projects and courses.
The program emphasizes the study and engagement of culture, politics, language, and history of the American South.
