Some classes moved after tornado strikes USM

Classes are under way at the University of Southern Mississippi, a week after a tornado damaged several buildings on campus.

Some students were just getting back into the classroom this week. The building that houses students in the music or art design departments was nearly destroyed by the tornado.

A modular city was being constructed Monday to accommodate the classes. In the meantime, students are working out of places that include the former post office on campus.

"We had 50 faculty displaced and 87 lecture classes, and lots and lots of ensemble work, and lots of classroom work that we had to move around. We are still in the process of doing that," said Steven Moser, the dean of the College of Arts & Letters.

The modular city was supposed to be up and running Monday. Instead, USM officials are hoping for Wednesday. In the meantime, classes are being held wherever USM can find space to put them.
