The
first non-academic tenant on campus will be BMW Manufacturing of
South Carolina, which has announced its plans to occupy an Information
Technology Research Center to be built adjacent to Clemson’s
graduate school. The 84,000-square-foot center will support research
that focuses on improving automotive software systems and software/hardware
compatibility for BMW products.
The
$15 million facility will be owned by Clemson and leased by BMW.
State funding to build the center is part of the state incentive
package offered to BMW last year when the company announced an additional
investment of $400 million and the creation of 400 new jobs over
the next several years.
Earnest is published by the College
