Harbor Walk is a commercial and retail center that is a part of the Aquarium Wharf area of downtown Charleston. The College has leased 45,000 square feet of space at Harbor Walk to support the classrooms, labs, and faculty offices displaced during the renovation of major academic buildings on campus such as the Rita Hollings Science Center and the Simons Center for the Arts. Harbor Walk will also serve as home to the Department of Computer Science.
Harbor Walk West is comprised of the old IMAX/Hippodrome building. It will house Biology and Physics & Astronomy classrooms, labs, and faculty offices. The building closest to the Cooper River is Harbor Walk East, which will house the Department of Computer Science and a Biology Lab.
Construction is almost complete at Harbor Walk. The Department of Computer Science moved in on June 7. Biology and Physics faculty will move on July 14 so that they have enough time to unpack their boxes and get labs ready in time for the Fall 2014 semester.
Below are some recent photographs of the progress made at Harbor Walk:
