Building a Legacy South Carolina’s first college of veterinary medicine continues taking shape. Multiple buildings on the new complex are coming together. The PCVM Hub, the heart of the complex, will be fully enclosed by late summer/early fall 2025. April 2025 was a busy month with steel framing beginning on the Clinical Teaching and Research buildings and site prep work accelerating on the Equine Teaching and Food Animal buildings. Steel framing began on the Ambulatory building in early summer. “It has been amazing to see the progress on our college so far,” said Founding Dean Steven Marks. “We’ve experienced so many historic firsts that are leading us to opening our doors and teaching the next generation of veterinarians. We are committed to creating a vibrant academic community that will serve the animals and people of South Carolina. Together, we’re not just building a college, but a legacy for generations to come!” Pending accreditation, the PCVM will welcome its first class of 80 students in the Fall of 2026. The PCVM’s comprehensive visit from the AVMA- COE happened in June. This was an important visit on the path to opening our application window to students.
• The PCVM Hub will be a vibrant center where students can attend classes, study and engage with each other. • The Clinical Teaching Building will house several labs and serve as the home for the Peeler College of Veterinary Medicine Community Clinic, where the public can access veterinary care. • The Research Building will house faculty and graduate student offices, as well as research labs dedicated to advancing veterinary science. • The Ambulatory Service Building will have a significant impact on the Upstate region, providing fourth-year students with vital clinical rotation experience on area farms as mobile veterinarians. • The Equine Teaching Building will offer students a dedicated space to practice and learn about equine health in a safe and controlled environment. • The Farm Animal Teaching Building will
