Clemson House sign considered for art project
In 2017, Clemson House was removed to make way for the recently completed College of Business. One of the most heartbreaking aspects of this demolition was the removal of the iconic Clemson House sign. 
Four years later, questions about the sign’s whereabouts have started to arise. The Clemson House demolition project, headed by Tommi Jones, has crated the sign and stored it in a “safe location” on Clemson’s property.
“The sign is actually being considered as art for the new Alumni Center project,” said Jones. 
Preliminary approval to develop a new Alumni Center near the Madren Center has been received and project manager Kevin McDonough shared, “[The Alumni Center] may not begin construction until a year from now, and if so, would then probably be completed around the end of 2023.”
More information will be revealed in the next few months so be on the lookout for the triumphant return of a cherished Clemson landmark. 
McMillan Road to open soon
A stretch of McMillan Road running between Cherry Road and Perimeter Road has been closed off to traffic, but there is good news. Director of Project Management John McEntire shared that the road is scheduled to open next Monday, Nov. 8 if inspections pass on the steam line this week. “There were several leaks in the steam line below the road which took longer than anticipated to locate and repair,” said McEntire.
Littlejohn is back in action with new sights and sounds
Littlejohn Coliseum is one of the most exciting places on campus during the winter months, and in an effort to keep that home-court advantage alive, Clemson Athletics has employed the Tiger Pep Band to hype up the crowd during the pregame festivities. 
Littlejohn tipped off the 2021-2022 season on Monday, Nov. 1 with the Clemson Men’s Basketball exhibition against Georgia Southwestern State. The Tigers secured a win to start the season off on a good note. 
Prior to tip off, the Pep Band set up on court and welcomed the Clemson family back to Littlejohn Coliseum with some tunes while the Rally Cats and Cheerleaders showed off their dance skills. We can expect to see more from the band, cheerleaders and Rally Cats in the coming months. 
Tickets for men’s games are still on sale. Women’s games are free admission.
