Campus fountain to be replaced by August
After years of deterioration, USM’s Physical Plant is demolishing the existing fountain in front of the Aubrey K. Lucas Administration Building.
According to Michelle Shinall, assistant director of marketing and campus relations at the Physical Plant, the new fountain was designed with the help of the Mississippi Department of Archives and History in order to create a fountain that is similar to the current one.
Despite appearing like its predecessor, the new fountain will be built using upgraded mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems. The project should be completed around August 2014.
