Alex Roskelley, a freshman physics major from Starkville, enjoys a window seat with a view of the Chapel of Memories carillon tower in the new Old Main Academic Center. Both the chapel and the classroom building carry on the legacy of the iconic Old Main dormitory that burned in 1959. The Chapel of Memories was built with bricks from the dorm, while the Old Main Academic Center is reminiscent of the building's design.
