Library for Congressman Clyburn

Jun 4, 2008

House majority whip Congressman Clyburn has secured funding for the James E. Clyburn University Transportation Center at South Carolina State University," his alma mater.  

That $70 million center, now under construction, will take up almost 500,000 square feet. This facility will enhance transportation infrastructure in South Carolina especially in rural areas.  It will conduct research in alternative fuel sources, and educate transportation innovators of the future. 

Also, the facility will house the South Carolina State University Historical Collection, a modern, user-friendly, environmentally controlled, and spacious archival area.  The collection will include the personal papers of Congressman Clyburn.
