About Gibbes Green in Columbia
Gibbes Green is a historic open space located on the University of South Carolina campus in Columbia, South Carolina. The green consists of an area bounded by Pendleton, Bull, Pickens, and Greene Streets, which was acquired by South Carolina College (now the University of South Carolina) by 1838.
Gibbes Green serves as a central gathering place and pedestrian thoroughfare on the university campus. It features gently sloping hills and is dotted with mature trees that provide shade. The green space is intersected by brick pathways that connect various campus buildings and allow students and faculty to traverse the area.
The area plays an important role in campus life, often hosting outdoor events, informal gatherings, and serving as a popular spot for students to relax between classes. Gibbes Green contributes to the historic character of the university's campus, providing an open, park-like setting amidst the surrounding academic buildings.
