After several meetings among administration and other community and faculty supporters of the Museum of Natural History, the museum has officially found homes in Brown Stadium and Hanna Hall.

“ULM’s Museum of Natural History is an important resource, and we value it greatly,” said ULM President Nick Bruno.

Discussions between the museum advisory committee and the ULM administration resulted in an agreement to move the research collections to the first floor of Brown Stadium (formerly occupied by Graphic Services). The collections will continue to be available to research scientists.

It was recently decided that a public display area on the first floor of Hanna Hall will be created. The area will be approximately 3,400 square feet, all of which will be accessible to ULM students, local grade school students and community members.

The museum’s move to Brown and Hanna will occur over the coming months.

“I want to express my appreciation to our university and community leaders who, in the spirit of collegiality, have worked with us to create a resolution for the museum we all treasure,” said Bruno.
