RENDERED FLOORPLAN

The Reception area is a warm and inviting space with nods to nature in the wallcovering and wood accents. It uses similar elements to the lounge room to enhance cohesiveness and make the space more comfortable. The logo is located directly behind the desk with accent pendant lighting and two entry doors leading to the residence halls.

The Lounge is a space with many different purposes. This space is welcome to all and is a perfect place for residents to meet with family or play a game with friends. The space also has access to a full garden that provides a space where residents can enjoy the great outdoors.

The library colors follow the same organic feel that epicureanism so heavily portrays. The space is equipped with a number of books for all the residents to enjoy. The library is also meant to be a space where residents can come and relax, use the provided computers, or read.

The Dining area is a welcoming space where all the residents can come and enjoy preprepared meals with their loved ones. The space is also equipped with a full-service kitchen that allows for the residents to cook for themselves as they please. The purple in the space is meant to help with mental stimulation and encourage a healthy appetite.

Concept

Mississippi State has a special relationship with railroads, dating back to 1878 when the university was founded. Generations of students used the steam-powered trains to get to their classes from the surrounding Mississippi towns. The line that ran through campus is now preserved in the present-day Junction, which has become the center of tailgating during football games. Because of the campus’s rich history with the railroads, the design of the proposed MSU CAAD Visual Arts Center, which will house the MFA in Historic Preservation program, will pay homage to the original railway depot that served what would eventually become Mississippi State University.
