The Powerhouse at University Center

Built in 1929, the Powerhouse provided electricity for the large Rock Hill Printing and Finishing Company. Today it is has been adaptively converted into a mixed residential and commercial site with a community food hall, craft brewery and live performance venue after a 2 1/2 year rehabilitation. The jury recognized the unique character of the Powerhouse and the creative architectural and engineering solutions to some of the rehabilitation challenges. The result is a breathtaking new community gathering place in Rock Hill.
