A method of operating a gas turbine engine is provided. The method includes channeling cooling air towards a shroud hanger assembly such that the cooling air flows through a cavity defined in the shroud hanger assembly, directing the cooling air through a plurality of cooling passages extending from the cavity, and discharging the air from the plurality of cooling passages towards an impingement baffle to facilitate cooling a shroud hanging from the shroud hanger.
