Originally built in 1974, the Theodore S. Stern Student Center has served as the hub of campus life for over three decades.

The building is named for former College of Charleston President Theodore Sanders Stern, who served from 1968-1979. A much-needed renovation of the 57,000 square foot facility was completed in August of 2005 at a cost of $6.1 million dollars. The Stern Student Center features a food court, email kiosks, automated teller machines, a game room, swimming pool, and fitness center as well as meeting and programming space for student organizations, on-campus departments and off-campus groups. |
