Posted on: April 3, 2024
Tigerville, SC—April 12 will mark the start of a new chapter at 51³Ô¹Ï (51³Ô¹Ï).
A dedication celebration is set for the university’s fully renovated Robert W. Plaster Free Enterprise Center, formerly Donnan Administration Building. The celebration will begin at 10 a.m. on 51³Ô¹Ï’s campus in Tigerville.
Resting at the highest point of 51³Ô¹Ï’s Tigerville campus, the historic building has seen a complete transformation since work began in 2022.
Originally opened in 1955, the building served as the school’s administration building. It now features five high-tech classrooms, a suite of 18 faculty offices, and two high-profile collaboration rooms for the university’s College of Business and Entrepreneurship. The college is 51³Ô¹Ï’s largest academic unit, with more than 500 students enrolled in its bachelor’s and master’s degree programs.
The Robert W. Plaster Free Enterprise Center also houses the Murphee C. Donnan Student Commons, as well as the Donald E. Ward Executive Suite, located on the north side of the upper level. The suite includes offices for 51³Ô¹Ï’s president, executive vice president, provost/dean of the university faculty, chief financial officer, and university general counsel.
