Mississippi State University’s McCool Hall College of Business & Industry will have an official grand opening for the new addition and renovations on October 6th, 2007 as part of the Homecoming events. The building was completed on time with students and faculty occupying the building for the Fall 2007 semester start. JH&H, with design consultant Perkins & Will, provided design for the expansion of the College of Business & Industry. The addition provides approximately 54,000 sq. ft. for lecture space, administration, student associations, and gathering space. A Great Hall is oriented in the central spine providing a “cyber-cafe” for students and faculty.
