A turbine system includes a turbine shroud segment. The turbine shroud segment includes a backside, a flow path surface opposite to the back side and configured to be disposed adjacent a hot gas path of the turbine system, and side walls extending between the backside of the turbine shroud segment and the flow path surface of the turbine shroud segment. The turbine shroud segment also includes cooling channels disposed in a thickness of the turbine shroud segment between the backside and the flow path surface, where each cooling channel includes an outlet at one of the side walls of the turbine shroud segment.
