CarolinaPower wins ABC’s 2025 Project of the Year

CarolinaPower, a leading employee-owned, regional electrical contractor with four offices in South Carolina, received top honors during the Associated Builders and Contractors of the Carolinas (ABC Carolinas) 2025 Excellence in Construction (EIC) Awards this year.

CarolinaPower received the “Best in Class” Eagle Award — the highest-level award — for its exemplary work on Clemson University’s new Alumni and Visitors Center, which officially opened in April 2025. CarolinaPower’s winning entry was in the Specialty Contracting/Electrical, $5 million-$10 million category. After much anticipation, at the end of the evening, CarolinaPower’s project was unveiled as the 2025 Project of the Year.

Clemson University’s new Nieri Family Alumni and Visitors Center sets a high standard for campus sustainability, design, and user experience. Located on the shores of Lake Hartwell next to the University’s Walker Golf Course, the five-story, 105,000-square-foot facility consolidates key student- and alumni-facing departments under one roof, creating a centralized hub that reflects the full Clemson journey.
