About the UC
The UC in Rock Hill, SC, has a rich history that began nearly a century ago. We are committed to honoring the city’s heritage while creating a community where everyone feels welcome.
Our Story
University Center’s (the UC) story began nearly a century ago when The Bleachery fueled Rock Hill’s economy and community spirit. After the mill’s closure in the 1990s, the site sat dormant, waiting for a new purpose.
In 2015, a bold vision brought life back to these historic grounds. Today, the UC stands as a shining example of adaptive reuse, preserving the character of the past while embracing the opportunities of the future.
Community Focused
The UC is more than just a place; it’s an experience. Here, history lives alongside innovation. Office spaces bustle with businesses, residents find comfort in thoughtfully designed homes, and visitors gather to enjoy local flavors, sports events, and cultural celebrations.
Anchored by landmarks like The Power House and the Rock Hill Sports & Event Center, the UC brings together people from all walks of life to share, connect, and grow.
