Five Points Redevelopment: BeautiFive

City of Columbia + The Five Points Association

Completion Date
2007

Project Budget
$29 Million

Culminating an effort that began in 1993 as a community initiated master plan, this ambitious streetscaping and infrastructure project features new sidewalks, landscaping, pedestrian scaled street lighting and significant upgrades to underground utilities. Inspired by comments from business owners, neighborhood leaders, and other stakeholders, this newly “beautified” design for the popular shopping/entertainment district results in a safer, more attractive commercial district, primed for future private investment and development.

Showcase Project

SCVRD Lyman Center

As the first new Center to be built for the South Carolina Vocational Rehabilitation Department in over twenty years, the Lyman Center reflects the current mission and philosophy of the Department, providing counseling, rehabilitation, and work production services. The new 35,000sf structure, to be constructed in two phases, is subdivided into three major program components: an area office, a 10,000sf production/training floor, and a special services unit for occupational and physical therapy. Designed for an organization that values its relationships within the business community, the facility appeals to corporate and technological aesthetics while also blending with its organic, wooded site on the Middle Tyger River.

Middle School Seven Construction

Richland School District Two’s new Middle School is located in the rapidly growing Blythewood area and will initially accommodate 1050 students. The 40 acre site includes play fields and a planned area for a future center magnet program. The building was oriented north/south on the site to maximize daylighting in all the major learning spaces and in corridor and public spaces.

OC Tech rolls out new Transportation Center

Orangeburg-Calhoun Technical College officially opened the doors of the Anne S. Crook Transportation and Logistics Center on Monday with pledges that it will provide workers with the skills they need and boost the region's economy. U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, a Republican who helped get $1.5 million in federal funds for the building, said "The building that I'm talking about today, named after a wonderful person, is going to allow this part of South Carolina to offer the educational skills to people who live in our area to get some of the best jobs in the 21st century."
