Edward Floyd, M.D. School of Medicine, honoring the late longtime trustee and his wife, who gave more than $30 million to the university. The School of Medicine is in the process of relocating to a new 300,000-square-foot facility in Columbia\u2019s BullStreet District. The new medical education and research facility, which will be part of USC\u2019s 16-acre Health Sciences Campus, is expected to be completed in August 2027.<\/li>\n<li>USC\u2019s board of trustees voted June 19 to move forward with plans to expand and renovate the Russell House student union, a multiphase project that could take up to five years and will be funded with state bonds financed by a new $150-per-semester student fee.<\/li>\n<li>Trustees on June 19 also advanced plans for a new civil rights center on the site of the former Booker T.
