I noticed this fairly large complex not too far from down the Charleston Highway<\/a> from Piggie Park<\/a> last weekend.<\/p>\n

As it turns out, it is the former home of the Midlands campus for Southern Wesleyan University<\/a>, a college based in Central<\/a>. In 2008 the school moved to Pinnacle Point Business Park<\/i> off of Farrow Road (I'm unclear if it is still there, it seems unusualy difficult to call up an exact address or current status). At the time of the move the motivation was given as <\/p>\n

The new location is in Pinnacle Point Business Park. Southern Wesleyan University will occupy more than 16,000 square feet of space in the building.<\/p>\n

\u201cOffices will be on the first floor and classroom space will occupy the third floor,\u201d Iddings said.<\/p>\n

For the past 18 years, the university has been located in the Granby Building on Charleston Highway in Cayce.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough our current space in the Granby Building has served well for many years, an aging facility and shifts in student demographics have convinced us to set out for new territory,\u201d Iddings said. \u201cA great many of our students and faculty have mentioned this need and we have listened.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Given the (empty) building directory board, I think the owners tried to bring in a number of businesses to replace the University, but apparently in the end it did not work out. To me it appears that the building was in reasonable shape when SWU left, but that years of neglect and vandalism have made it unusable without some major work.<\/p>\n

There is a real-estate sign on the property, toppled over, but probably still in force, and likely associated with this 8 year old pitch for the building<\/a> in better times.<\/p>\n

Finally, here<\/a> is the LoopNet<\/i> summary on the property.<\/p>\n
