Planning, Design & Construction
College of Veterinary Medicine
Complete Fall 2026
With the rapid growth in national demand for services and investments in animal health, Clemson University will become the first College of Veterinary Medicine in the state of South Carolina. Clemson’s distributed model for clinical learning will leverage existing assets in the state through partnerships with industry and clinical enterprises. Clemson will construct the main teaching buildings and labs but will partner with private clinics for additional career experience. This model is estimated to save more than $350 million in capital costs and $60 million in operating cost. The total projected cost for the project is $285 million.
