An aerial view captures the ongoing transformation of McCarthy Quad, a new focal point nestled between Mississippi State’s highly anticipated Duff Center and the historic Agricultural and Biological Engineering building. Designed with functionality and aesthetics in mind, the quad will feature multiple pedestrian pathways radiating from a central flagpole, enhancing connectivity across campus. Once complete, this inviting green space will serve as a vibrant hub for campus life.
