College of Charleston (2025)

I was in downtown Charleston, South Carolina, earlier this summer for an academic conference and walked through the College of Charleston to take some pictures (this entry updates some photos my wife took at "C of C" in 2017).

King Street is one of the major thoroughfares in downtown Charleston, featuring many pricey restaurants, bars, and shops.

The campus is just a few blocks down King Street from where the conference was held. Walking through the campus area, one finds various plazas, often with abundant trees, bushes, and flowers.

C of C features a mix of newer buildings such as the Science Center...

and School of Business...

and some departments housed in, well, houses...

(Shown above, left to right, are the English Department, Communication faculty offices, and Communication Department.)

Another similar structure is Sottile House (below), once a women's residence hall and now the home of Institutional Advancement (e.g., fundraising).

One attractive area I could not approach featured a large lawn with a columned building in the background. Due to a soundcheck for an upcoming event, the gates around the lawn were locked.
