DP3 Architects Earns Three Honors in SC Biz News “Top Projects” Awards
DP3 Architects is pleased to announce that three of its projects have been selected by SC Biz News as 2025 Top Projects Award winners. The recognition honors excellence in construction and architectural work across South Carolina during the past year.
The renovation and expansion of Oconee Hall at Tri-County Technical College (TCTC) in Pendleton, SC, is a project designed to meet the evolving needs of students, faculty, and staff. The project increased the facility’s size by 44%, growing from 34,000 square feet to 49,000 square feet. The revitalized Oconee Hall, originally opened in 1980, is now ready to serve TCTC for another generation of learners.
Replacing the previous headquarters built in 1980, the new station is located prominently at the intersection of Wade Hampton Boulevard and Main Street, serving as the new gateway to the heart of Taylors, SC. This state-of-the-art facility was designed to serve both the growing operational needs of the fire department and the broader Taylors community.
DP3 Architects partnered with the City of Simpsonville to design a new Municipal Complex that serves as a symbol of civic pride and a catalyst for continued community growth. The complex brings together essential city services on one campus, including Simpsonville’s new City Hall, Police Department, Fire Station Headquarters, and Magistrate and Municipal Court. The collocation of these departments improves operational efficiency and provides a more accessible and welcoming experience for residents and visitors.
SC Biz News Top Projects honorees will be recognized during an online video celebration on September 30th and in the print edition of SC Biz News and on SCBizNews.com. These awards affirm our ongoing commitment to designing community spaces that not only meet functional needs, but also enhance identity, foster connection, and uplift quality of life in the Upstate. We are excited to continue designing projects that invite, inspire, and invigorate the people that work, live, and play in the spaces we create.
