OXFORD, Miss. \u2013 As the highly-anticipated $59 million renovation and expansion of the University of Mississippi’s Student Union<\/a> continues, campus users can expect several changes in the weeks ahead.<\/p>\n

For starters, the Subway sandwich shop inside the facility closed its doors Friday (Nov. 11). Ole Miss Food Services<\/a> closes Dec. 10 and will not reopen in the building.<\/p>\n

Relocations coming up include the Ole Miss Bookstore<\/a> (temporarily closing Dec. 9 and reopening Dec. 14 in the Jackson Avenue Center), the Mississippi Federal Credit Union (closing Dec 21 and moving to the MFCU Branch at 1101 Jackson Ave.) and the UM Box Office<\/a> (closing Dec. 21 and reopening at the Ford Center when the university’s normal operating hours resume in January).<\/p>\n

The existing Ole Miss<\/a> Student Union closes at 5 p.m. Dec. 21 and will not reopen until fall 2018.<\/p>\n

“When students return for the spring semester on Jan. 23, there will be no access to the Ole Miss Student Union,” said Bradley Baker, Union director. “The Ole Miss Student Union office, Ole Miss Big Event, Student Activities Association and services they are responsible for will be located in Lester Hall, Room 210.”<\/p>\n
