Project Update: UMMC School of Medicine

Recently, we had the opportunity to head down the street and check out the incredible progress being made on the University of Mississippi Medical Center’s new School of Medicine. Here’s a look at what our team has been up to:

Waterproofing membrane has been installed on the CMU back-up walls prior to the exterior brick being installed.

The tour looks up at the mechanical catwalk area above the large auditoriums. This will allow service of the systems above the acoustically sculpted ceiling.

View of the atrium stairs. This space will serve as the building’s central circulation area for students, faculty, staff, and visitors.

The majority of the duct work and piping has been installed in the space above the ceiling in the public corridors. Finishes and exterior windows will be installed soon.

Chief of Staff Brian Rutledge investigates the central atrium space and the student spaces around it.

Members of the leadership group making final selections for the brick pavers that will be found on the building’s exterior, both in the plaza and courtyard areas.
