School of Education, Health, and Human Performance and
Jeremy Warren Vann Teacher Education Center
April 20th, 2007 - The College of Charleston has officially dedicated the new School of Education, Health, and Human Performance building. The 24,000-square-foot, three-story building is located at 86 Wentworth Street.
The new center is comprised of two buildings: the Jeremy Warren Vann Teacher Education Center—a new, L-shaped building, named in memory of Sara and Chuck Davis’ son, a 1997 college alumnus and aspiring teacher who died in a car accident eight years ago—along with the original Wentworth Street building.
“We are all here in the name of education,” said Fran Welch, dean of the School of Education. “All of us on this campus are here to facilitate the education of students as they pursue their degrees and go into the world to use what they’ve learned and, we hope, to pass some of that learning along.”
While the outside of the facility blends with the Charleston surroundings, the inside has new modern décor and cutting-edge features like LCD monitors and wireless Internet connections. The new building is home to all 44-faculty members of the School of Education, Health, and Human Performance.
March 1st 2007 - Faculty & Staff moved into the new School of Education building, located at 86 Wentworth Street.
October 7th, 2005 - The School of
Education hosted a groundbreaking
ceremony for its new facilities.
