Groundbreaking held for center

OCEAN SPRINGS, Miss. – The University of Southern Mississippi held a ground breaking for the Marine Education Center at the Gulf Coast Research Laboratory. The facility replaces the J.L. Scott Marine Education Center that was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The 28,000-square-foot center will function as the education and outreach arm of the Gulf Coast Research Lab. It has waterfront access and boat dock, and includes six structures that will house exhibits, classrooms, labs and more. (Source: University of Southern Mississippi, 08/31/15)
