  • The top of Capstone lit garnet with downtown Columbia in the background

Capstone Lighting

Since 2016, the University of South Carolina has lit the top of Capstone in garnet to honor both academic and athletic achievements. First done to honor a Rhodes Scholar, it's shone for two women's basketball NCAA championships, individuals earning the Order of the Palmetto and many more accomplishments. Here's a listing of all the times Capstone has glowed garnet.
