A 45-year-old residence hall at Mississippi State was being demolished Tuesday to make room for a new 160,000-square-foot facility under construction on the northeastern side of campus. Hightower Hall, named for the institution’s president 1912-16, is giving way to a more modern, 400-bed, residential hall.
