Thad Cochran Center

Thad Cochran Center

The Thad Cochran Center is the newest building on the campus of the University of Southern Mississippi. It is the epicenter for most activities that take place on the campus. While consider an expansion of the R.C Cook Student Union rather than a new building, the Cochran Center sports some rather large upgrades. The Cochran Center is named after Senator Thad Cochran due to his large role in securing the government funds for construction. The center is 4 stories tall and sports many nice ammenities. The Cochran Center provides meeting spaces for student organizations as well as off campus groups. The second phase of construction is set to begin soon, with the opening of a theatre on the second floor of the complex. The ground level or basement section of the building will be the new home of the universities post office. It is also home to the offices of Aramark who is in charge of providing the dining for the university. The first floor features the "Fresh Food Company" the schools cafeteria as well as the largest Barnes and Noble in the southeast. The final touch on the first floor is the mural "University Bounty" painted by a Southern Miss art instructor. The second floor features mostly meeting space as well as the textbooks section of Barnes and Noble. The third floor houses the 3 ballrooms. Each room may be used individually or may be combined to form the Grand Ballroom.
