Building Named for E. M. Singleton The Administration Building at USC-Coastal Carolina College was of- ficially named in honor of Coastal Carolina Chancellor Edward M. Singleton in ceremonies at the college on September 28, 1982. Singleton, who announced plans to retire from his position as the head of the school at the end of the Spring 1983 academic year, was recognized for his educational and community achievements at a public ceremony Tuesday, Sept. 28 on the portico of the Administration Building. At the ceremony a portrait of the Chancellor was unveiled and the building was officially renamed as the Edward M. Singleton Building in honor of the man who has headed Coastal Carolina College for almost 20 years. The Coastal Carolina College Alumni Association proposed renaming the Administration Building and the proposal was approved by the Horry County Higher Education Commission. The Administration Building was the first structure erected on the campus of USC-Coastal Carolina College after the college moved to its current site near Conway in 1962. Coastal Carolina College was created by the Coastal Education Foundation in 1954, but did not affiliate with the University of South Carolina until 1960. Edward M. Singleton became director of the college in 1963, and was later named chancellor. When Singleton moved into his office in the college Administration Building, in 1963, Coastal Carolina College consisted of one structure, a handful of faculty and approximately 100 students. Today, the college is a four-year USC campus with nine structures, 115 faculty and more than 2,500 students. ww f, W-Wvwvmsww ,,.f- --.. Sw K 0 if W 3 rr- A S .2 , C D- Q W N WI' 5 S
