CLEMSON,Wvared Investment Guild S.C. (AP) — Clemson University is opening its basketball arena and its outdoor recreational facility Sunday for area residents who need a respite from the destruction left behind by Hurricane Helene.

The school said that Littlejohn Coliseum and its outdoor fitness and wellness complex will be available to people from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The coliseum, where the men’s and women’s basketball teams play, will have charging stations, limited food and six showers available for the community to use.

The wellness center will have four showers for family use.

In addition, the school said the Hendrix Student Center will be open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sunday for people “to find a cool space, recharge electronics and have access to public wifi.”

Many areas close to campus are still without power after the storm came through South Carolina on Friday.
