The Lyman Center reflects the current mission and philosophy of the South Carolina Vocational
Rehabilitation Department, providing counseling, rehabilitation, and work production services in one
facility. The 35,000 square foot structure is subdivided into three major program components: an area
office, a 10,000 square foot production/training floor, and a special services unit for occupational and
physical therapy. The integration of daylighting, connections to nature, and a variety of "green"

principles observed in the design of the facility, foster a healthy and productive workplace for clients
and staff. 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.
