Columbia is set for a transformation as the University of South Carolina announces plans for a new $300 million medical school campus in the BullStreet District, expected to open by August 2027. The campus will not only serve students but also the community, further enhanced by a new Rising Roll Gourmet Cafe on-site, which promises a diverse menu. This development marks a significant addition to the area’s evolving landscape, which is already home to new businesses and amenities, promising a vibrant future for residents and students alike.
Columbia is buzzing with excitement as the University of South Carolina (USC) gears up to break ground on its brand new medical school campus in the BullStreet District! This soon-to-be state-of-the-art facility is expected to transform the area, bringing a modern educational hub to life. With a hefty price tag of $300 million, the campus is set to open its doors by August 2027. It’s a big deal for both students and the community!
And that’s not all—adding a wonderful touch to this exciting project, the popular Rising Roll Gourmet Cafe will be opening a location right on the new health sciences campus! This cafe is not just for the students, faculty, and staff at the medical school; it aims to welcome the entire community, making it a perfect spot for anyone looking for a tasty bite.
Once operational, the cafe will boast a menu filled with a variety of delicious options. Expect to see gourmet sandwiches, fresh salads, comforting soups, hearty grain bowls, tasty wInter wraps, and even scrumptious desserts! Whether you’re rushing between classes or just looking for a leisurely lunch with friends, Rising Roll promises to offer something for everyone.
This isn’t the cafe’s first rodeo! Rising Roll already has established locations across several states including Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Virginia, and Texas. Many of these locations are conveniently situated on university campuses, so they are well-acquainted with the needs of students and faculty alike. Now, the USC community can add their own local Rising Roll to the mix!
As for the medical school campus itself, it is designed to impress. It will feature cutting-edge classrooms and advanced clinical simulation spaces that will ensure students receive top-notch education. Add an ultrasound lab and various research labs to the mix, and you have an impressive educational environment ready to train future healthcare professionals.
It’s an exciting time in Columbia as the BullStreet District undergoes a remarkable transformation from the former State Mental Hospital campus into a new, vibrant mixed-use area. The district is already home to a plethora of amenities, including hundreds of apartments, various stores, a Starbucks for that much-needed coffee fix, and even a spot for local sports fans to catch a Columbia Fireflies game!
But wait, there’s more! The BullStreet District isn’t just stopping at the medical school and Rising Roll. Several other exciting new businesses have recently opened their doors or are set to open soon. New additions include a fitness studio called Pvolve, the lively Shuckin’ Shack restaurant, and Methodical Coffee for coffee enthusiasts! You can also look forward to the arrival of Tupelo Honey restaurant in February 2025. Yummy times ahead!
With the addition of Rising Roll Gourmet Cafe to this growing area, local officials are bubbling with enthusiasm, celebrating the cafe’s community-minded approach and their commitment to delivering quality food and service. As Columbia continues to evolve, it seems the best is yet to come for its residents and future students!
