Deen Building

Newberry Exterior

Opened in January, 2012, the Deen Building was donated to Mississippi State University and renovated by The Riley Foundation. The building was named in honor of longtime philanthropist, Robert B. Deen, Jr., whose work as president and chairman of the Meridian-based Riley Foundation has greatly impacted education and opportunity in the region.  Home to MSU-Meridian's Division of Business, the 20,000-square-foot building features an electronic stock sticker in the first floor lobby, six state-of-the-art classrooms, a computer laboratory, two conference rooms, faculty offices and student study spaces. The stock ticker's purchase and installation was generously donated by Bank Plus.

Named after the late Meridian businessman and Riley Foundation co-founder, the three-story facility houses the state's first publicly funded Master of Physician Assistant Studies program. The facility also contains a library provided through a grant from the Phil Hardin Foundation as well as a new Bulldog Shop, which sells MSU apparel, cheese, ice cream and sandwiches.
