McMaster School, Historic school building in Columbia, United States

McMaster School is a Renaissance Revival building at 1106 Pickens Street, on the corner of Senate Street in Columbia, South Carolina. Architect William Augustus Edwards of Edwards and Walter gave it an H-shaped floor plan. The University of South Carolina added an auditorium and rehearsal hall after buying it in 1960; the Department of Art replaced the auditorium with an addition in 1997–99 that doubled the building's square footage.

McMaster School was built in 1911 to designs by William Augustus Edwards of Edwards and Walter, one of sixteen schools the firm planned under guidelines the state legislature set in 1905. It served as a public primary school for white children until 1956, when South Carolina consolidated its school districts. The University of South Carolina bought it in 1960 and renamed it McMaster College.

The building honours Fitz William McMaster (1826–99), credited in the 1911 dedication with organising Columbia's public schools, alongside his service as a Confederate colonel and his role in white supremacist resistance to Reconstruction. South Carolina governor Henry McMaster is a descendant. The university renamed it McMaster College after buying it in 1960.

The building stands at 1106 Pickens Street, on the corner of Senate Street, on the University of South Carolina campus in Columbia. It now houses the School of Visual Art and Design, so interior access follows university building hours rather than a visitor schedule. The 1997–99 addition doubled the building's square footage, so the H-shaped 1911 core is best read from the Pickens and Senate street sides.

The State newspaper called it the "handsomest school building in Columbia" when it opened in 1911. The building was named for Fitz William McMaster, and South Carolina's governor Henry McMaster is a descendant of his.
