Recent and Upcoming Campus Additions
June 15, 2023
From research and innovation to campus life and amenities, the academic landscape is ever evolving. To maintain its position as one of the world’s top 100 universities (currently ranked in the top 6%) and a leading research institution, MSU’s plans to nurture innovative research centers, host top-ranked graduate programs and cultivate an international cohort of scientists and scholars are already underway. Take a look at just a few of the projects that are pointing our entire campus community toward a successful tomorrow.
COMING SOON
To meet the needs of an ever-growing body of active-minded enthusiasts on campus, this state-of-the-art fitness complex will replace IM West. Planning is underway for an early 2026 opening.
This 1936 construction is scheduled for a complete replacement. The new crossing will include a new, dedicated pedestrian bridge in addition to reimagined crossings for safe, barrier-free pedestrian, bicyclist and vehicular travel.
The Multicultural Center broke ground in April 2023. Featuring spaces for meetings, activities, study, student organizations, reflection and personal health, the center will create an inclusive community that meets our diverse student population’s social, emotional and intellectual needs.
Built in 1939, Campbell Hall is marked for major upgrades to student gathering, study and residential spaces. Renovations are designed to improve safety and accessibility, along with mechanical, electrical, exterior and finishes.
NOW OPEN
This award-winning 150,000-square-foot building opened in 2021 and provides classrooms, labs and collaborative gathering spaces to increase experiential learning and encourage interdisciplinary connections.
The complex, which opened in 2022, includes two artificial turf fields and a support services building, and hosts a variety of intramural and club sports, including flag football, ultimate Frisbee, softball and baseball.
With modern, flexible class rooms and collaboration-friendly spaces that invite indus try partners to engage with students, this renewal, which was completed in April 2023, helps the school’s academic spaces reflect its status as the nation’s best in packaging science.
