The University of Mississippi has been in Oxford for 166 years and construction is ongoing.
That’s because Ole Miss is constantly improving. The university has $230 million in projects that are either underway or out for bid, and $206 million of new facilities are on the drawing board.
Among those major improvements are renovations to the Student Union, Honors College and the construction of new athletics facilities and academic and research space.
The Student Union is undergoing a $50 million renovation that will increase the dining area and add new student government offices, a ballroom and conference space. The Union features 97,000 square feet and will increase to about 157,000 square feet over the next four years.
The Honors College will double in size over the next year, with a 13,000 square foot addition that includes new classrooms and designated study space.
And of course, there’s the Forward Together campaign, which includes a brand new 9,500-seat basketball arena, a parking garage and the expansion of the north end zone at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. The parking garage is on track to open in January and the arena is expected to be open next season for SEC play.
The new 9,500-seat basketball arena and parking garage are under construction.
We are thankful for a university that is constantly moving forward to offer the best to the students, staff and community.
