SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE

Facilities


Giles Hall Home of the School of Architecture
The School of Architecture facilities are excellent examples of a building’s ability to serve multiple functions. In Starkville, Giles Hall consists of a remodeled livestock judging pavilion and new building addition that provides excellent studio space and support facilities. In addition to a woodworking and metal shop, plotter lab, library, gallery, auditorium, offices, research centers, and classrooms, studio space is available for all students. The Stuart C. Irby Studios located in the Jackson’s central business district is another example of the School’s commitment to issues of sustainable architecture. This renovated building houses a library, gallery, offices, classrooms, and studio space. In both locations, each student has access to his/her own desk 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The idea that the studio is the personal workspace for each student is continually emphasized, as faculty members believe students learn more from each other within this context. Studios are arranged to facilitate teaching and make students aware of the work of their classmates in all year levels. Both buildings have a card-reader system for secure access.
