The long-awaited, $19-million expansion and repositioning project at the Woodlands at Furman<\/a> in Greenville, South Carolina, the Upstate\u2019s only university-based retirement community (UBRC), will break ground tomorrow.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Woodlands is such a special place, especially with its proximity to and close relationship with Furman University,\u201d said Mary Lou Merkt, the Woodlands at Furman president. \u201cWe are delighted to expand the great experience we can provide to additional residents.\u201d<\/p>\n

The first phase of the project\u2014a 1208-m2 <\/sup>(13,000-sf) community village with a state-of-the-art wellness center, therapy pool, massage and locker rooms, full-service salon with manicure and pedicure stations, etc.\u2014is expected to be complete by September. This will be followed by the addition of 44 new independent living apartments and the expansion and renovation of dining facilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the Woodlands at Furman, we are striving to deliver architecture that creates an emotional connection, providing a comfortable, yet stimulating upscale experience,\u201d said Rocky Berg of Dallas-based architecture firm Three<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
