The $130-million building will be the university’s most technologically advanced facility. Construction is now underway on Clemson University’s Advanced Materials Innovation Complex (AMIC).

South Carolina is home to more than 960 advanced materials companies.

HOK’s sustainable and regenerative design directors explored decarbonization strategies and the crucial role of embodied carbon at AIA A’23.

The hour-long panel discussion was moderated by HOK’s Anica Landreneau and Ralph DiNola, CEO of the New Buildings Institute (NBI).

Estimated $6 billion project would be delivered within 6 years of approval.
