Greenville, SC – Batson Associates is proud to announce the upcoming renovation of the South Carolina Governor’s School for the Arts and Humanities’ Dining Hall. In collaboration with PFA Engineering, Carolina Engineering Solutions, and Fuller Group LLC, Batson Associates will spearhead efforts to enhance the culinary experience for students, faculty, and guests of the school.

Fostering connection and community, the revitalized dining space will optimize seating arrangements and introduce additional meal options, catering to the diverse needs of the school community.

“We are excited and honored to partner with Batson Associates, Inc for our dining hall upgrade and renovation,” SCGSAH CFO, Betsy Beam says. “Batson’s overall sense of community resonated with our team’s commitment to the school’s theme of Many Paths, One Community, Govie Unity. The creation of this new space for our students combined with the commitment to community by Batson Associates, Inc was just a natural fit for us for this project.”

The renovation will transform the interior dining space and exterior space, blending function with aesthetic appeal. The new layout will offer an elevated dining experience, increasing seating capacity, providing a modern, inviting atmosphere for all to enjoy.

Senior Project Architect Nicole Lindemer is excited about the opportunity to enrich the daily culinary experiences of SCGSAH’s students and faculty with the upcoming renovation.

“Our goal is to create a dining hall that goes beyond functionality, offering a welcoming and vibrant space where the school community can gather, collaborate, and connect,” Lindemer continues. “Every aspect of the design will focus on enhancing both the dining and communal atmosphere, reflecting the core values of Govie Unity.”
