Clemson University announced Nov. 25 that Michael and Robyn Nieri and their children and spouses, Pennington and Katie Nieri, Maigan and Rob Lincks and Patrick and Jessica Nieri, have pledged $12.5 million to name a new facility the Nieri Family Alumni and Visitors Center.
“We are grateful for the Nieri family’s incredible generosity and philanthropy and know that the Nieri Family Alumni and Visitors Center will serve as the keystone of every future Tiger’s Clemson journey,” said Clemson University President Jim Clements.
Located adjacent to the Clyde V. Madren Conference Center and John E. Walker Sr. Golf Course, the 98,000-square-foot, five-story building is constructed using a hybrid of traditional structural steel in mass timber and will feature two event spaces and two rooftop terraces. The facility also houses the Walker Course’s new clubhouse and pro shop, the Class of 1944 Visitors Center, Clemson Alumni Association offices, the Visitors Center auditorium and engagement room, the Center for Career and Professional Development and admissions offices, the University’s advancement division, the Clemson University Foundation offices, and the college’s board of trustees support staff offices.
Construction on the Nieri Family Alumni and Visitors Center began in spring 2022; the facility is expected to open in spring 2025. Clemson University has invested more than $50 million in the facility.
