BOUDREAUX is honored to announce that the firm has received the 2026 Firm Award from the South Carolina chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA South Carolina), the organization’s highest recognition for an architecture practice. The award honors a firm that has consistently produced distinguished architecture while making a lasting contribution to the profession and the communities it serves.

The recognition comes as BOUDREAUX begins the celebration of its 50th anniversary – marking five decades of living its mission to cultivate relationships, design inspiring places, and enrich communities across the Southeast.

Founded in Columbia in 1976, BOUDREAUX has grown from a small local practice into a multi-disciplinary architecture, planning, interior design, and historic preservation firm with studios in Columbia, South Carolina and Charlotte, North Carolina. Throughout its history, the firm has remained deeply rooted in the belief that architecture is ultimately about people – the students collaborating on their campuses, the faithful gathering in the sacred spaces, the citizens influencing local government, and the teams thriving in their workplaces.

“Of all the recognitions our firm has received over the years, this is among the most meaningful because it reflects the totality of who we are – not one project, one moment, or one individual, but decades of delivering meaningful work with humility, consistency, and an unwavering commitment to quality,” said Heather Mitchell, AIA, President of BOUDREAUX. “To be recognized by our peers in this way is an honor. We are deeply grateful to everyone who has been part of our story.”

Today, BOUDREAUX continues its impact as part of the design team shaping Columbia’s Congaree Riverfront District, a transformative civic project strengthening the city’s connection to the river. They are advancing major projects, including the University of South Carolina’s new Health Sciences Campus, two residence halls, and the University of North Carolina Charlotte’s Loy Witherspoon Center for Meditation and Reflection.

While BOUDREAUX has received numerous design, planning, preservation, and sustainability awards over its history, the AIA South Carolina Firm Award recognizes something broader: a sustained culture of design excellence, mentorship, leadership, collaboration, and service to the profession.

We’re supporting organizations including NC TECH, Connect Labs by Wexford at The Pearl in Charlotte, BIZNOW, SCBIZ, and Furniture Today—building video systems that drive visibility and pipeline.

  • $16.5 million gift is largest private donation to the veterinary college
  • New Quattlebaum Hub will include classrooms, library and gathering space
  • Endowed professorship and unrestricted funds support faculty recruitment
  • Clemson’s first welcomes its inaugural class in 2026

 

With a $16.5 million gift from , the Harvey S. Peeler Jr. College of Veterinary Medicine at has received its largest private donation.

Quattlebaum’s donation will support multiple areas of the college, including its centerpiece — the newly named Quattlebaum Hub, a state-of-the-art building featuring classroom space, conference rooms, a library and a bookstore, according to a university news release.

In addition to the Quattlebaum Hub, the Andy Quattlebaum Pavilion, named for Don and Hayden Quattlebaum’s son, will serve as a serene outdoor space within the campus, designed to provide students with a respite space where they can relax or study and enjoy the outdoors, the news release said. Don Quattlebaum was a building construction major at Clemson before launching a career as an entrepreneur, according to earlier university announcements, and the late Hayden Quattlebaum was co-owner of Pepsi-Cola Bottling Co. in Conway.

The university says the Quattlebaum gift will also ensure that the college will attract top-tier faculty members through the Don and Hayden Quattlebaum Endowed Professorship and through an unrestricted endowment to address the college’s most pressing needs.

“I am honored to call Don Quattlebaum my friend and am grateful for the opportunity to continue the legacy of Hayden, Andy and the Quattlebaum and Blackwell families,” said university President Jim Clements. “Don’s gift represents an investment in the future of South Carolina. Their family’s legacy is significant and will continue to make a difference in the lives of future Tigers for generations to come.”

Quattlebaum, together with the Andy Quattlebaum and Blackwell Family Foundation, has been a longtime supporter of Clemson and an advocate for animal-wellness and education across the Southeast, the release stated. A hallmark of their philanthropic activities at Clemson has been student experiences focused on wellness and protection of natural resources, including the Andy Quattlebaum Outdoor Education Center on Clemson’s main campus and Andy’s Cottage at the Belle W. Baruch Institute in Georgetown.

In 2020, Don and Hayden Quattlebaum made a $2.7 million gift to the university, which named the Andy Quattlebaum Outdoor Education Center for their late son.

“I am so thankful for Don’s continued commitment to our great university. His legacy of philanthropy continues to center around making a positive impact on students,” Vice President of Advancement Brian O’Rourke said in the release. “This gift will support his great love for animals and the state of South Carolina and makes him our newest Cornerstone Champion, helping us move Clemson Fiercely Forward.”

“Fiercely Forward” is the name of Clemson University’s current multi-year $1.889 billion capital campaign.

“The Harvey S. Peeler Jr. College of Veterinary Medicine will serve South Carolina and its farmers through large animal care, as well as the citizens of South Carolina who need care for their pets,” Don Quattlebaum said in the release. “I am proud to play a part in the establishment of this important College. This gift is for Andy and Hayden whose spirits I carry with me every day.”

Clemson’s veterinary school will be the first veterinary college in the state. The college recently began accepting applications for the first class of students, slated to begin in the fall of 2026.

“Don Quattlebaum’s gift is an investment in the future of animal and human health in South Carolina,” Steven Marks, founding dean of the Harvey S. Peeler Jr. College of Veterinary Medicine, said in the release. “It will allow us to train the next generation of veterinary clinicians and scientists to enhance the human animal bond for the benefit of our state and beyond.”

US unemployment rises to 4.3% as Fed eyes rate cuts https://scbiz.com/us-unemployment-august-fed-rate-cuts-2025/ Fri, 12 Sep 2025 13:35:02 +0000 https://scbiznews.com/?p=540599 U.S. payrolls grew by 22,000 in August as unemployment rose to 4.3%. The Fed is expected to cut rates by 0.5% this year despite sticky inflation.

The post US unemployment rises to 4.3% as Fed eyes rate cuts appeared first on SCBiz.

]]>

  • rate increased to 4.3% in August
  • Payrolls added 22,000 jobs, signaling slower labor growth
  • Fed expected to cut interest rates by 0.5% before yearend
  • Inflation remains at 2.9%, above Fed’s 2.0% target

 

climbed by 22,000 in August, which was roughly in line with the gains in other recent months.  The unemployment rate rose 0.1% to 4.3% after an increase of 0.1% in July.

That puts it just slightly above the 4.2% level that the Fed believes is the full employment threshold for the unemployment rate. For some time the Fed has been contemplating a couple of rate cuts late in the year but it has not yet pulled the trigger.

This employment report strengthens the case for those who were already leaning in that direction. The problem is that the core inflation rate has been steady at 2.9%. The Fed wants that inflation rate to slow to the 2.0% mark.

Tariffs are clearly putting upward pressure on prices for some goods which is making it difficult for the inflation rate to back down. While we believe that the Fed should postpone any rate cuts until the inflation rate  provides more convincing evidence that it is headed in the right direction, that is not going to happen.

The Fed will almost certainly cut the funds rate 0.25% at its meeting later this month with another 0.25% cut prior to yearend. It will justify that action by telling us that it is currently putting more weight on its full employment goal and that it is not particularly concerned about the stickiness of inflation which will, hopefully, prove to be temporary.

The labor market has clearly slowed in recent months. Payroll employment is currently increasing by about 30,000 per month versus monthly gains of 200,000 at the beginning of the year.  Business leaders are convinced that tariffs will slow the economy to some extent.

At the same time Trump is aggressively deporting illegal immigrant workers. That will shrink the labor force and further slow the economy. Against that background the economic outlook is unusually murky and firms are behaving cautiously. They are reducing headcount largely via attrition.

If someone leaves the firm they are not immediately filling the position. Firms also require executives to demonstrate that any new position cannot be accomplished satisfactorily via artificial intelligence. As a result, hiring has slowed dramatically.

Firms have not yet resorted to layoffs because they fear that they may not be able to rehire that worker when the economy rebounds.  Initial unemployment claims (a measure of layoffs) has only inched upwards.

While employment growth has slowed to a crawl the unemployment rate has only edged higher to 4.3% because the deportation of immigrant workers has shrunk the labor force.  The economy does not need to produce as many jobs today to keep the unemployment rate steady.

At the beginning of the year the labor force was increasing by about 150,000 per month.  To keep the unemployment rate steady employment needed to increase by 150,000 monthly.  But now the labor force is rising by only about 50,000 per month which means that employment gains of just 50,000 are required.

As a result of all this, the unemployment rate has edged upwards to 4.3%. The Fed believes that the labor market is at full employment when that rate is 4.2%. But Fed Chair Powell fears that with much slower growth in payroll employment any potential slowdown in GDP growth could result in a big increase in layoffs and a dramatic increase in the unemployment rate. He says that the balance of risks has changed and that the Fed intends to take action to ensure that the unemployment rate does not rise by cutting rates sooner rather than later.

The funds rate now seems almost certain to be cut by 0.5% between now and yearend. That would reduce it from 4.3% to 3.8%. The question is, then, what is likely to happen to it in 2026.  We believe that GDP growth in that year will be about 2.5%, the unemployment rate should return to 4.2%, and the inflation rate may slow from 2.8% to perhaps 2.2%.

That is getting very close to what the Fed would like to see — both full employment and 2.0% inflation.  Against that background the funds rate should continue to decline gradually to about 3.3% by the end of the year. The Fed thinks that over the long term the funds rate should be about 3.0%. While the economy is a bit shaky at the moment, slow but steady rate declines in the final months of this year and into 2026 should help.

From 1980 until 2003, when he retired, Stephen Slifer served as chief U.S. economist for Lehman Brothers in New York City, directing the firm’s U.S. economics group along with being responsible for forecasts and analysis of the U.S. economy.

Lexington Health has named a new president and CEO.

Kirk Jenkins, senior vice president of the Physician Network at Lexington Health, will succeed Tod Augsburger, current president and CEO, on Jan. 1. Augsburger announced his retirement in April of this year.

“For the past 10 years, Tod has guided Lexington Health through some of the most challenging and transformative moments in our history, including the COVID-19 pandemic. His unwavering leadership, vision and dedication have strengthened our ability to provide the highest quality health services, and we are deeply grateful for his service,” said Randy Senn, chair of the Lexington Health board of directors, in a news release. “Lexington Health looks forward to continuing our legacy of community commitment as the only local, independent hospital system in the Midlands under Kirk’s leadership.”

During his tenure, the system expanded its services to meet growing community needs, built and acquired new facilities, invested in leading-edge technology and formed significant partnerships.

“I am so proud of what Lexington Health has accomplished as an organization and have no doubt that we will continue to succeed because of our staff and their dedication to providing our friends, families and neighbors with the highest quality care,” said Augsburger in the release. “Working alongside our providers, administrators, clinicians and support staff has truly been the honor of my life. I know that our Lexington Health family is in great hands with Kirk as our next president and CEO, with the support of our strong leadership team and board of directors.”

Some of Augsburger’s key accomplishments include:

  • Structural transition to Lexington Health, a non-governmental, not-for-profit organization.
  • Improved access to primary and specialty care with the construction of a state-of-the-art patient care tower at in West Columbia; community medical and urgent care centers in Northeast Columbia, Cayce and Lexington; and medical parks in West Columbia, Forest Acres, Blythewood and Lexington.
  • Coordinated response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including the establishment of testing and vaccination clinics in the Midlands.
  • Partnership with the University of South Carolina College of Nursing to fund an innovative training facility and provide clinical instructors to guide the next generation of nurses.
  • Clinical distinctions that recognize Lexington Health’s commitment to excellence in patient care, including U.S. News & World Report’s Best Hospital in the Columbia Metro Region for four consecutive years and the state’s first Magnet with Distinction™ hospital from the American Nurses Credentialing Center.
  • Establishment of Graduate Medical Education, which includes family medicine, internal medicine and transitional year residencies and a clinical informatics fellowship.

“Kirk has been serving in leadership roles at Lexington Health for more than 10 years,” said Senn. “His proven track record, breadth of experience and innate understanding of our values and culture are why the board voted unanimously to promote him to his new role. We have every confidence that he is the right leader for our hospital and its network of care.”

Jenkins, a native of West Columbia and graduate of Brookland-Cayce High School, received a master’s degree in business administration from in 2003 and a bachelor’s degree in business administration from The Citadel in 2000. He is also a Fellow of the American College of Healthcare Executives. Prior to joining Lexington Health, Jenkins was a health care administrator in the United States Air Force from 2004 to 2013, serving in multiple operational leadership and strategic planning positions.

Jenkins joined Lexington Health in 2013 and became responsible for the physician network in 2015. In this role, he led the network through unprecedented growth and success. In just 10 years, Lexington Health increased the number of employed physicians and advanced practice providers from 387 to 718. Additionally, Jenkins guided the development of several market-leading clinical service lines, including heart and vascular, orthopaedics, oncology, urology and general surgery.

Combined with his service in the United States Air Force, Jenkins’ leadership in the growth of Lexington Health’s physician network uniquely positions him to build on the organization’s successes and strengthen its position as an independent health system, the release stated. His experience gives him a comprehensive understanding of market competition, financial and operational structures, quality and performance improvement initiatives, strategic priorities and organizational culture.

“I am very honored to serve as the next president and CEO of Lexington Health and continue working with our dedicated and incredibly talented team to provide the highest quality care to our patients and their families, while strengthening our commitment to our communities as the only local, independent health system in the Midlands,” said Jenkins.

In its 54-year history, Lexington Health has only had five CEOs: George Rentz, Ken Shull, Mike Biediger, Tod Augsburger, and Kirk Jenkins.
