Byrnes is named for James F. Byrnes, former S.C. governor and U.S.
Secretary of State. While a U.S. senator, Byrnes arranged for Works
Project Administration funds to be used with matching state funds to
construct three campus buildings--the auditorium, Thurmond Building, and
Macfeat Nursery School, now the Academic Computing Center. Byrnes
exemplifies the monumental architectural style prevalent in Depression-era
public buildings.
