In September 2022, South Carolina Supreme Court Justices and Bar representatives gathered outside the Court to commemorate the transformation of its parking area. The multiyear Supreme Court Beautification Project has visually enhanced the area, lessened its impact on the environment, and provided a safer exterior parking area.
New features in the Court’s parking area include a wall along the Sumter Street side, additional lighting, and permeable concrete pavers designed to last 50 years. The project helped improve stormwater management by reducing the amount of water shed from the parking lot, eliminating the pooling of stormwater, and preventing water from flooding the Supreme Court building basement. The planting of shade trees and removal of the previous asphalt surface eliminated the previous “heat island” effect of the lot.
The project was a joint effort of the Judicial Branch, the Richland County Bar Association, and the South Carolina Bar. Nearly 1,500 attorneys and individuals, from locations around the state and firms of all sizes, made anonymous contributions to make this project a reality.
