It’s that time of year again! As the number of students and classes decreases in the summer, the amount of campus construction projects increases. To keep up with the latest in MSU construction, you need to visit construction.msu.edu! This special website was created by MSU Physical Plant, and it gives information on current and upcoming construction projects, detour maps for each month, the design and approval process, and more!
