Beginning on Monday, December 15, Clemson University Facilities will take advantage of the quieter campus environment to work on several projects affecting buildings and roadways.
In addition to these updates, visit the University Facilities Construction Map for the latest information on University Facilities projects.
McMillan Road Crosswalk Safety Improvements
Image Description
An overhead view of McMillan Road. An inset photo displays an illustration of a curb bulb out and ramp installation, showing how a car can see pedestrians waiting at the intersection more easily with the bulb out installed. The inset photo has orange arrows connecting to purple overlays covering either lane of the road. A text box reads “Contractors will be installing concrete Crosswalk Bulb Outs to enhance pedestrian safety at the McMillan Rd. crosswalk between McAdams and Edwards Halls. Periodically one lane will be blocked and/or held while equipment and trucks are entering the area. Work will begin on the McAdams side of the road first before crossing over to the Edwards side. A temporary crosswalk will be in place near the work site.”
Beginning December 15, contractors will begin installing concrete crosswalk bulb outs to enhance pedestrian safety at the McMillan Road crosswalk between McAdams and Edwards Halls. One lane of McMillan Road may be blocked and/or held while equipment and trucks are entering the area. Work will begin on the McAdams side of the road first before crossing over to the Edwards side. A temporary crosswalk will be in place near the work site, and the project is scheduled for completion in late January 2026.
Reflection Pond Fountain Lights
Crews will install new programmable LED lights for the Reflection Pond’s fountains over Winter Break. Funding for the lights is thanks to Clemson University Student Government’s Capital Improvement initiatives program.
Douthit Hills Expansion

An overhead view of Highway 93. A gray box on the north side of the road reads “Construction Site Delivery Exit to HWY 93” and a green arrow through the box out onto Highway 93 and through the eastbound lanes. A text box reads “A section of the HWY 93 median divider across from the construction site will be removed during Winter Break. This will serve as the site exit for large trucks and equipment throughout the project.”
Construction of the Douthit Hills Expansion (Bldg. H) is scheduled to begin this month. A section of the Highway 93 median divider across from the construction site will be removed during Winter Break, which will serve as the site exit for large trucks and equipment throughout the project. These trucks will continue to exit via Highway 93 through the Spring semester and the remainder of the project.
- Beginning Monday, December 22, Highway 93 westbound will be reduced to a single lane between Newman Road and Cherry Road as work begins on the Douthit Hills expansion project. The closure is expected to last for two days and will be reopened each evening.
- Beginning Monday, December 29, Highway 93 will be reduced to a single lane in both directions to remove a section of the median divider. The lane closures are expected to last for five days.
Clemson/MUSC Medical Office Building
The third construction phase of the new 90,000-square-foot medical office building to replace the Redfern Health Center will begin after this week’s 2025 Fall Commencement through May 2026. Phase four is scheduled to begin in summer 2026.
