SPARTANBURG, South Carolina -- Sherman College of Straight Chiropractic has signed a contract with McMillan Smith & Partners, an architectural firm with a long history of college design, to prepare detailed plans for the Reginald R. Gold Building. This is the college's first step in realizing its plans to expand the Sherman campus.

The new building has the potential to become the center of campus activities, since it will house 10 classrooms, a 1,500-seat auditorium, and the college's main cafeteria.

Ron Smith and Donza Mattison, representatives for McMillan Smith and Partners, were at Sherman to sign the contract, along with Sherman President Dr. David Koch and other college administrators.
