A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR JUMPER CARTER SEASE ARCHITECTS OF LEXINGTON COUNTY FOR THEIR SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTIONS TO ARCHITECTURE IN SOUTH CAROLINA, AND TO CONGRATULATE THEM AS THEY CELEBRATE TWENTYFIVE YEARS OF PROVIDING OUTSTANDING ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are delighted to learn that the firm of Jumper Carter Sease Architects will commemorate a quarter of a century of meeting architectural needs throughout the State at a celebration to be held at Riverbanks Zoo and Garden on May 12, 2016; and

Whereas, the vibrant firm traces its roots to 1929, when Jesse Wessinger opened the first architectural firm in Lexington County. Thirty years later John Drafts joined Mr. Wessinger, forming Wessinger and Drafts; and

Whereas, Craig Jumper joined Mr. Drafts in 1970, and the firm was renamed Drafts and Jumper. In 1991, Jumper Carter Sease came into existence when Joel M. Carter and L. Todd Sease became principals in the firm, bringing a commitment to maintaining the tradition of excellence established decades earlier by Jesse Wessinger; and

Whereas, an exemplary corporate citizen, Jumper Carter Sease operates with the goal of strengthening the historic foundation of the community through continuous focus on client relationships and collaborative design practices; and

Whereas, the firm consistently demonstrates a steadfast commitment to design excellence and serving clients through open communication and collaboration, architectural innovation, and a passion for creating architecture that enhances their clients’ goals and missions; and

Whereas, skillfully blending form and function, the professionals at Jumper Carter Sease continually strive to create architecture that promotes the concept of “wellness of mind, body, and spirit,” whether designing for schools, churches, hospitals, or facilities for religious, sporting, commercial, civic, and cultural purposes; and

Whereas, the numerous landmark architectural contributions of Jumper Carter Sease include Riverbanks Zoo and Garden, Lexington Medical Center, River Bluff High School, and West Columbia City Hall; and

Whereas, with deep appreciation, the House of Representatives commends the quarter of a century that Jumper Carter Sease Architects has offered exceptional architectural quality, and the members wish the firm continued success in the years ahead. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and honor Jumper Carter Sease Architects of Lexington County for their significant contributions to architecture and development in South Carolina, and congratulate them as they celebrate twentyfive years of providing outstanding architectural services.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the firm of Jumper Carter Sease Architects.
