BILOXI, Miss. (WXXV)- Leaders from Mississippi State University and Keesler Air Force Base celebrated the final beam being lifted into place for a new cutting-edge facility on the Gulf Coast.

With the signatures of leaders and partners sealed in steel, the final beam of the Mississippi Cyber and Technology Center was lifted into place.

The facility is designed to be a hub for innovation bringing together military training, higher education, and private industry under one roof.

The center will be managed by the MSU Research and Technology Corporation and will include office space for university staff and industry partners, classrooms for Keesler’s cyber training programs, and even an event space to host collaborations and conferences.
