EARLY COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL

  • Originally built in 1957 as Columbus Street Elementary, the school was part of South Carolina’s Equalization Program, built for African American students. The school became a vital hub for the Eastside community, a gathering place during pivotal historical moments. Now, through community engagement sessions, the next chapter of this historic site is being written. Early College High School is a unique high school program that provides opportunity for students to graduate with a high school diploma and an AA degree in partnership with Trident Technical College. Early College High School preserves the stories of the past while creating future opportunities for students in one of South Carolina’s most historically significant neighborhoods.
    This project team had numerous meetings with the community to determine historical relevance. The result led to incorporating the existing facade into the new design. The project included necessary support spaces such as a kitchen and serving line that accommodates all 400 students in a short period of time. Student spaces such as common areas, multi-purpose room, flexible AVID classrooms, and appropriate science labs were also included.
