Daylight disappears on the horizon as street and building lights illuminate MSU's Jim and Thomas Duff Center earlier this week. During the day, the center is buzzing with activity in the university’s Department of Kinesiology and the Mississippi Institute on Disabilities, which includes the Autism and Developmental Disabilities Clinic. The new 100,000-square-foot facility, opened in the fall of last year, was designed with collaborative learning spaces for clients and MSU students, while also advancing interdisciplinary research and teaching among faculty.
