The Place to Be
from Viewbook 2023
When you step onto our beautiful campus, you’re stepping onto the fastest-growing public university in South Carolina. Look around and see all the amazing new buildings and facilities going up and under renovation—there’s no denying Lander is a place on the move.
Exciting Student Housing Renovations
Lander recently completed more than 20 renovation projects to its residence halls and student housing facilities. Among those enhancements is a completely redesigned plaza at historic Chipley Hall, including new pedestrianfriendly walkways, seating, and beautiful greenspace for this popular campus area.
Nursing Facility Enhancements
Renovations were recently completed on Lander’s new nursing skills simulation laboratory, offering students a dynamic, realistic environment for hands-on clinical instruction. Additionally, the University has announced plans for a future, state-of-the-art nursing building, which will provide access to the most current clinical technologies and equipment.
Top-Notch Athletic Facilities
At Lander’s beautiful Jeff May Sports Complex, you’ll find modern stadiums for baseball, lacrosse, soccer, tennis and softball. A 17,000-square-foot field house —one of two large field houses at the complex —has just been completed, serving as the new home for Lander’s wrestling and lacrosse teams, and providing exceptional facilities for strength and conditioning programs.
Outdoor Pool and Recreation Area
Opening soon, Lander’s new outdoor pool and recreation area will provide a perfect place for relaxation and fun in the heart of campus! With plans for plenty of waterside seating and ample space for recreation and events, the outdoor pool will be a highlight of the student experience once completed.
Information Commons
Along with Lander’s many hands-on research opportunities designed to take traditional learning to the next level, students will soon have a new space dedicated to researching, studying and collaborating with peers. Funds were recently granted to build a cutting-edge information commons, which will combine Lander’s already robust library collection with new and exciting technologies to enhance learning outside the classroom.
