Survey Suggests Graves May Be at Planned Dormitory Site
A survey by the College of Charleston suggests graves may be located at a planned dormitory construction site, with excavation required for confirmation.
Charleston, SC, October 20, 2026 —
A survey by the College of Charleston suggests that graves may be located at a site planned for dormitory construction. Excavation is required to confirm whether graves are present, according to the information provided about the survey.
The survey’s findings do not establish that graves have been confirmed at the site. The summary does not describe the survey methods, identify the specific location, or say how many possible graves may be involved. It also does not provide a date for the survey or name the researchers or officials associated with it.
Details about the proposed dormitory, including its size and construction schedule, were not provided. The available information does not say whether construction plans have changed, whether work has begun, or when excavation might take place. It also does not specify who would conduct the excavation or what steps would follow if graves are confirmed.
The distinction between a survey suggesting possible graves and excavation confirming their presence is central to the information available. Until the excavation takes place, the survey’s indication remains unconfirmed. No further findings or decisions were included in the summary.
The College of Charleston’s survey is the only source identified in the information provided. The summary does not include comments from the college, project representatives, historians, or other parties, and it gives no details about permits, reviews, or the status of construction approval. Those details could not be established from the available information.
