MISSISSIPPI STATE UNIVERSITY
College of Business & Industry

JH&H, with design consultant Perkins & Will, provided design for the expansion of the College of Business & Industry at Mississippi State University. The addition provides a lecture space, administration, student associations, and gathering space. A Great Hall is oriented in the central spine providing a "cyber-café" for students and faculty. The building received needed renovations to existing interior spaces as well as the exterior façade facing the historic drill field. The addition consists of a new 300-seat auditorium and tiered technology classrooms that will accommodate seating for 65 to 100 individuals in a lecture setting. The third floor reorganizes the faculty offices and creates new student organization offices.
