Clemson Conservation Center
The Clemson Conservation Center is now entering into its second year and still going strong. One of the many buildings being brought back to life on the Former Charleston Naval Base, it is the perfect place for the restoration of marine type artifacts, including the H.L. Hunley. This facility is considered to be one of the finest of its kind in the world.
The City of North Charleston has donated approximately 82 acres of land to the University which helped make this proposal of the Clemson University Restoration Institute a growing work in progress. The Conservation Center will serve as one of the principal supporting materials laboratory for all of Clemson’s low-country programs.
Continuing work is taking place on the restoration of the civil war submarine, H.L. Hunley, which was also honored as an ASM Historical Landmark this past year, joining the company of others such as the Liberty Bell and the Eiffel Tower.
