Earlier this week, Greenville Technical College + Prisma Health broke ground on the future Prisma Health Center for Health & Life Sciences on the college’s Barton Campus (South Pleasantburg Drive).

Greenville Technical College President Dr. Keith Miller, in the company of Governor Henry McMaster and community + Prisma Health leaders, describes the new center as a “dynamic learning commons,” as it will be a hub in the heart of campus surrounded by the college’s library, student center, and more.

“I can foresee the future every time I come to this technical college… You can see the future written everywhere, particularly on the faces of these students… this place is a gold mine,” said Gov. Henry McMaster.
