Robinson To Head Clemson Advancement Foundation

The foundation funds and supports the University's architectural, arts, and historic preservation programs in Genoa, Italy; Barcelona, Spain; and Charleston, where Robinson lives and practices.

Current foundation projects include design and construction of a new building in Charleston that will house programs for advanced architectural studies and historic preservation. The project is being undertaken in conjunction with the College of Charleston and the City of Charleston.

"The Clemson Advancement Foundation will become a major contributor to the cultural and educational climate in Charleston," Robinson said. "It provides a wonderful opportunity for us to learn about, learn from, and better appreciate our architectural heritage. I am greatly honored to serve the Foundation, and look forward to further expanding its base of support."
