Magnolia Hall was built to cater to the expanding housing needs of Itawamba Community College. The new residence hall provides an opportunity for an additional 250 students to immerse themselves in campus life. The exterior showcases a thoughtful blend of durable materials, such as brick veneer and cast stone. The interior is meticulously designed to cater to student needs, featuring a modern, spacious layout with contemporary finishes. Expansive storefront windows and curtain wall seamlessly connect the interior spaces with the natural beauty of the surrounding campus. The layout comprises two wings, connected by a spacious central hub. Each wing is tailored to accommodate separate male and female occupancy. In addition to double rooms, the wings incorporate an apartment for the hall director and two efficiency units intended for visiting staff. The heart of the facility is composed of interactive spaces that foster collaboration and social interaction among students. This central area encourages teamwork and camaraderie.
