Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary

Building On An Old Foundation. Yeargin Potter Shackelford Construction has completed the total renovation and restoration of the old Taylors High School, converting it into Greenville Presbyterian
 

Theological Seminary. The original two-story, 20,000 square-foot masonry structure was built in 1936, destroyed by fire in 1945 and promptly rebuilt. Although orginally a high school, it later became Taylors Elementary School, finally closing as a public school in 1981. Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary selected YPS to convert the “shell building” into a state-of-the-art theology school. The new facility consists of classrooms, a 30,000 volume library, faculty and administration offices, boardroom, student lounge, and community bookstore. “Continuing to utilize the old Taylors midtown location as a source of learning and enlightenment is certainly a point of pride to both the Taylors community and Yeargin Potter Shackelford Construction,” said Rob Wess, YPS Program Manager for Ministry Projects.
This project is under consideration for the 2008 Community Revitalization Award presented by The Greater Greenville Association of REALTORS® this September. Architectural services were provided by McAbee Architects, Inc., Travelers Rest, SC.
