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.
When I graduated from chiropractic college in 1981 and started practice, I heard it all, and very little was positive. “You are a quack; you do not know what a subluxation is; you couldn’t get into a real health care program, so you chose the one that is slightly above a mail-order degree; you have no proof that chiropractic works; Are you really licensed?”, and so much more.
