The Mississippi State University School of 91×ÔÅÄ is proud to launch its Alumni Design Awards as part of its 50th Anniversary! Our graduates have completed many amazing projects over the years that should be celebrated. Projects designed with MSU S|ARC graduates as project architects or members of the project team are eligible. For this first year, we’ll open the competition to projects completed in the past 7 years, but also have a special category for the best project done over the last 50 years as a tribute to our 50th Anniversary.
Winning projects will be recognized at the 50th Anniversary Closing Weekend - Alumni Design Awards and Beaux Arts Ball – which will be hosted in Starkville the weekend of April 5-7, 2024. More details to come!
