FACILITIES

MTSU Horse Science Center

The MTSU Horse Science Center is located 7 miles from the main campus and is adjacent to the Tennessee Miller Coliseum. It includes two high-tech classrooms, Horse Science faculty offices, conference room, and restrooms. The barn is connected to the back of the Horse Science Center, and offers opportunities for student work experience. This facility includes 65 indoor climate controlled stalls with additional covered overflow stalling just out the central doors. The barn area is heated and contains a large tackroom, feedroom, washrack, and breeding lab, as well as a student locker area. The covered arena runs parallel to the overflow stalling, and is 105' x 230'. An additional outdoor arena is also available for use.

While there is currently no boarding for student horses, future plans include a student barn for personal horses, and limited apartment space for students managing the barn.

Tennessee Miller Coliseum

The Tennessee Miller Coliseum was built on March 18, 2003. The entire facility exists thanks to the generosity of the late John and Mary Miller. The facility is located on 154 acres at 304B West Thompson Lane Murfreesboro, TN.

The coliseum itself is 222,000 square feet. It includes many amenities that make it one of the most outstanding arenas constructed. The Miller can seat a total of 6,500 guests. An office, concession areas, lounges, reception areas, restaurant and several restrooms are included. An enclosed practice/warm-up area is located just outside the main arena.

The stalling facilities at the Miller Coliseum are also impressive. The covered barns are furnished to house 492 horses in 10x10 stalls. Two large washracks with tempered water are conveniently located for bathing. Restrooms, showers, a barn manager's office, and farrier work areas are also included in the stalling area. Parking areas include 400 parking spaces with 70 camper hookups.
