Goodwill Development, LLC

Completion Date

Project Budget
TBD

The Goodwill Development in southeastern Richland County is a unique planned community composed of estate lots on a vast wooded tract fronting the Wateree River. Amenities include outdoor activities such as a fishing pond and miles of horse trails, as well as many renovated historical structures and this new Wellness Center. The project is conceived as a heath and recreational facility that also functions as a community center. The health/fitness initiatives include a cardio fitness area, a sauna, a recreational/three lane pool, two tennis courts, and an outdoor basketball court. The community center portion of the program includes a gracious lobby with a "lodge" feel, a large kitchen, and two classrooms that can be converted into a large reception hall with the use of a moveable wall.

Showcase Project

SCVRD Lyman Center

As the first new Center to be built for the South Carolina Vocational Rehabilitation Department in over twenty years, the Lyman Center reflects the current mission and philosophy of the Department, providing counseling, rehabilitation, and work production services. The new 35,000sf structure, to be constructed in two phases, is subdivided into three major program components: an area office, a 10,000sf production/training floor, and a special services unit for occupational and physical therapy. Designed for an organization that values its relationships within the business community, the facility appeals to corporate and technological aesthetics while also blending with its organic, wooded site on the Middle Tyger River.

Northeast Engineering / Science Classroom Facility Construction

This 68,000 sq. ft. classroom building addition at the Northeast Technology Campus will become the new home of the Engineering and Science departments of the College. The program features teaching labs and classrooms focusing on clean energy technology, biotechnology, and advanced manufacturing, supporting the mission of the College’s regional research partners. The design features strategies to provide student centered “casual” spaces that encourage social interaction and collaboration. The facility will showcase flexible spaces and planning strategies to respond to changes in mission and technology.

School Designs Change with the Times

If back-to-school brings visions of the proverbial little red schoolhouse, better think again. Today’s schools are more a combination of brain research, educational advancements, sustainability and technology, bringing new challenges for school architects and designers. This amphitheater was built into the design of the Center for Knowledge as another area of learning.
