Sometimes the biggest challenge isn’t the project—it’s everything happening around it.
Grace Construction is underway on a fast-track project for the University of South Carolina, rebuilding a masonry wall behind Russell House that was damaged when it was struck by a truck.
The timing? About as challenging as it gets. We’re working right in the heart of campus as students are moving in and preparing for the start of the fall semester—and just steps from Russell House, one of USC’s busiest hubs for student activity and dining.
Getting started required careful coordination with multiple university departments and agencies, along with a plan to maintain safe pedestrian access while working within an extremely tight site.
It’s a relatively small project with a big logistical component—and a very short turnaround.
We’re glad to be part of getting this area repaired, restored, and ready for the Gamecocks. 🤙
