Mississippi State University Jim & Thomas Duff Center

Construction of the new Jim and Thomas Duff Center included a centralized home for Mississippi State University’s Department of Kinesiology, and the Mississippi Institute on Disabilities, including the Autism and Developmental Disabilities Clinic and other programs of the Disability Resource Center. The 102,000-square-foot facility features a range of instructional and functional spaces, including multiple lecture-style classrooms, clinical areas, research laboratories, and administrative offices. The spaces were intentionally designed to resemble modern physical therapy environments rather than traditional classrooms or laboratories, providing students with practical, hands-on training in realistic clinical settings.
