Construction on the facility began in November, 2016 by Thomas Construction Company Enterprises; at an estimated cost of $8 million, 10% of which was paid by the city of Greenville. On November 14, 2017, the Greenville City Council voted unanimously to name the new facility after G.K. Butterfield, who played a vital role of securing 90% of the funding through Federal funds. On August 8, 2018, a
ribbon-cutting ceremony took place with G.K. Butterfield on-hand to cut the ribbon; the facility officially began the following day at 6:25am. The facility achieved
LEED certification in 2020 and won the WoodWorks 2022 Wood Design Regional Excellence award. ==Services==
