The Aiken County Complex tracing its roots to 1917 hospital origins shifts toward a greenfield build with groundbreaking targeted for early 2012. Since 2006 officials pursued bids and site analyses narrowing to multiple locations near Aiken High School, University Parkway, and Trolley Run Station as design advances proceed.
EYOVET MAY 2007 reports to Council that the complex will require about 200000 gross square feet at a cost exceeding 40 million dollars. DECEMBER 2007 Cranston Engineering is engaged to analyze locations. Aiken Mayor Cavanaugh requests the current Richland Avenue West site be kept. JUNE 14, 2008 Fine Deering withdraws its offer of 50 acres in Trolley Run Station.
In 2010 the County chooses McMillan Pazdan Smith for design services for the County Complex on Richland Avenue. The firm later recommends demolishing the old complex for a new building. A local architect seeks historic designation citing its past as a county hospital and Willis Irvin design. The Design Review Board supports historic status, while the City Planning Commission and City Council deny it. The county also acquires the former Coca-Cola bottling plant for EMS use.
In 2011 the county holds town halls to discuss a new complex. A Citizens Advisory Committee favors greenfield site on University Parkway, with 20 acres and an option on more land. Option 4 features a clock tower and grand stairs, and a 50 acre extension is approved. The county purchases 222 Beaufort St for the Health Department. Architects estimate total cost at 37.5 million dollars.
